Leading French Progressive-Left Voices Murdered in Attack on French Magazine Charlie Hebdo



Just want to make a point that progressives are being slaughtered. They didn't just mock extremist jihadists but also the right wing in France.

Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical weekly newspaper, featuring cartoons, reports, polemics, and jokes. Irreverent and stridently non-conformist in tone, the publication is strongly antireligious and left-wing, publishing articles on the extreme right, Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, politics, culture, etc. According to its former editor, Charb (Stéphane Charbonnier), the magazine's editorial viewpoint reflects "all components of left wing pluralism, and even abstainers".
