Hypocrisy in the Media
The title of this post almost seems redundant, but there it is. You want an example of this hypocrisy?

Western media outlets have almost universally bemoaned the Mohammed cartoons and disavowed the few print outlets that have run them. They claim that they are "showing respect" to "the Muslim Community" by not printing them and don't seek to "further incite violence."

But really, they are just buckling to the pressure of the threats of violence, allowing words to provoke enough fear that they won't even stand up and fight for the one thing that they've always been so eager to fight for: freedom of speech. Let's face it, without freedom of speech, the MSM can't even claim the tenuous hypocritical grassy knoll they've held for the past 30 years.

They are a bunch of fucking pansies.

However, apparently it doesn't insult Islam or "incite violence" to rehash the Abu Ghraib shame and make public 60 new photos.

Yeah. The MSM is so fucking brave. It is really easy to speak "truth to power" when you don't have to worry about the US Government planting a car bomb in front of your office or sending in a suicide bombing intern to do the dirty work.

You assholes in MSM want to "speak truth to power?" Call a spade a spade, a murderer a murderer, and apologize for the hypocrisy inherent in your own cowardice.
