Just wondering if anyone is compiling a list of media outlets with respect to reprinting images of Mohammed? Seems like the NY Times and Globe and Mail have chickened out so far. My subscription to the G&M lapses at the end of the month ( their cowardice over Charlie Hebdo was the final straw and I cancelled ) but no sign of even the latest cover which is not even remotely offensive unless one thinks drawing images of a long dead warrior dude is offensive because Allah.... Anyway, here is one link to a story and the image and I would appreciate to see others too: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/01/13/a-feckless-new-york-times-along-with-many-other-media-chickens-out-of-publishing-the-new-charlie-hebdo-cover/ And here CBC explains their cowardice: http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/community/editorsblog/2015/01/to-publish-or-not-to-publish.html G&M explain their cowardice: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/editorials/we-honour-charlie-hebdo-but-we-dont-want-to-be-it/article22388259/ All I can do is post Charlie Hebdo cartoons in my non-anonymous Twitter feed and Facebook statuses but even that is better than our media above. At least I can boycott the G&M. The CBC still gets my tax dollars....
