Both are probably just as offensive IMO.. to me that is not even a question. Obviously the responses were quite different, which to me is the issue. |
That's a timely post on your part in that today's massacre breeds fear in journalists and newsrooms so they print cartoons and take editorial slants that are "safe" from Islamic extremists but may attack other groups that are more tolerant.
Just a quick look around the web and i am not seeing a lot of press outrage at the incident, as opposed to what we saw after the Sony incident, which after all was a mere cyberattack with no lives lost.
