CNN does. They've decided not to show or link to the Jyllands-Posten cartoons out of "respect for Islam"
In the same article journalist Kathy Quiano writes:
The journalism advocacy group Reporters Without Borders voiced "incomprehension" at the decision by France Soir's owner to fire his editor.Do these journalists read what they're writing, or do they just cut and paste?The group said a statement by Lakah referring to the need to "respect the beliefs and convictions of each individual" is "particularly inopportune at a time that the newspaper is being censored in Tunisia and Morocco and French citizens are being threatened as a result of the publication of the cartoons," the press freedom organization said.
Flemming Rose, the cultural editor of Jyllands-Posten, told CNN that the ongoing violence in the Middle East has "very little to do with the cartoons we've printed."
He said the initial uproar "came right after ... radical imams from Denmark traveled to the Middle East, deliberately lying about these cartoons, and deliberately lying about the context."
The imams "were saying that my newspaper was owned by the Danish government, they were saying that we are preparing a new version of the Koran, a new translation of the Koran in Denmark, censoring the word of Allah, which is a grave sin according to Islam," Rose said. "This is a lie."
I wonder how far is CNN willing to go in its obsequiousness to Islamic law? Kathy Quiano and Paula Zahn might be ok with their burkhas, but I don't think Anderson Cooper can survive without a barber.
