New York Daily News Blurs Charlie Hebdo Muhammed Cover
Source: Mediaite
The New York Daily News blurred a controversial cover of Charlie Hebdo in an article about the attack on the French magazines offices this morning.
The photo was part of a series taken by Agence France-Presse/Getty photographer Alexander Klein of Charlie Hebdo editor Stéphane Charbonnier standing amidst the rubble of his office following a firebombing in 2011. Charbonnier, who was killed in this mornings attack along with eleven others, is seen holding the offending cover, which depicted a caricature of the Islamic prophet Muhammed.

In other cowardly news:
The Associated Press on Wednesday removed photos that included French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's Muhammed cartoons from its commercial photo system following the attack on the magazine, Buzzfeed News reported.
The photos that include the cartoons will remain on the wire service. The images of the cartoons on the AP wire service, including the one below, were taken by photographers with SIPA, a French Photo agency.

and
CNN is not showing detailed images of cartoons from the Charlie Hebdo magazine that could be viewed as offensive to Muslims, CNN senior editorial director Richard Griffiths said in a message sent to CNN staff Wednesday afternoon.
Griffiths' email:Although we are not at this time showing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet considered offensive by many Muslims, platforms are encouraged to verbally describe the cartoons in detail. This is key to understanding the nature of the attack on the magazine and the tension between free expression and respect for religion.
Video or stills of street protests showing Parisians holding up copies of the offensive cartoons, if shot wide, are also OK. Avoid close-ups of the cartoons that make them clearly legible.
It's also OK to show most of the protest cartoons making the rounds online, though care should be taken to avoid examples that include within them detailed depictions of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons.

Way to report the news and to show solidarity for free speech, guys!

Also the White House has questioned Charlie Hebdo's editorial judgement in the past.

I think the White House would applaud the restraint shown by the NY Daily News. Do you disagree?

From the same speech.

(58,724 posts)Folks should read the full speech:
And on this we must agree: There is no speech that justifies mindless violence. (Applause.) There are no words that excuse the killing of innocents. There's no video that justifies an attack on an embassy. There's no slander that provides an excuse for people to burn a restaurant in Lebanon, or destroy a school in Tunis, or cause death and destruction in Pakistan.
