Why blame the AP? They are a wire service, but they don't control what papers do or do not print.

The high-desert rats still have some independent thinkers. Good to see the libs from the valley haven't taken over completely.

I'm confused.
I thought this image was offensive to Muslims, but it was published by lots of newspapers, including the Washington Post. It was also put on television, night after night, for weeks.
What am I missing?

Good for him.
Editorsandpublishers.com is a left-wing site worse than most of the media it represents. I notice that they publish this guy's name, making him more vulnerable to Muslims who might decide to kill him, but they don't publish the picture. It's OK if somebody else gets killed, but very few of the media want to risk their own hides.
It's the same with casualties in Iraq. If a soldier is killed, it's a useful statistic. If a reporter gets killed, it's a terrible tragedy.

I think I may write to him. FREE SPEECH IS WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT!

I've sadly gotten to the point where the free speech aspect doesn't mean much to me.
I just like to stir up the Muslims, like poking a fire ant mound, just because you can.

What is offensive is that AP fancies itself to be the guardian of good taste for thousands of American newspapers rather than letting individual newspapers make that decision Guess you did not see this Asso Propaganda apprently decided to censor the images. Since the images are the story it is complete contrary to the Junk Journalists pretentions to being the defenders of the people's right to know for them to refuse to publish the images. Apprently some religions are more equal then others when it come to the Asso Propaganda Editors deciding what is "offensive".

What you are missing is the fact that everything offends the Muslims. What gets me is are the muzzies so embarrassed about Mohammed that even they don't want to see his image? I believe they are. I've seen Jesus portrayed in many ways. the only time I was offended was the images of the Crucifix in urine. Otherwise, no problem. I'm proud of my Lord and Savior. What are they affraid of?
