• Spot the difference

    One of these respectable mainstream news outlets is not like the other, when it comes to the images republished from Charlie Hebdo:

    How embarrasing for the United States when Fox News is the least willing to voluntarily self-censor the very images which ARE the story here.

    They may well be the least reliable news source ever to illuminate the phosphor layer of a cathode ray tube, but they are also the only cable news station with zero felt need to kowtow to the soft bigotry of progressive political correctness. One almost gets the sense that something other than fear of government sanction delimits the scope of allowable speech in the “land of the free” and “home of the brave.” Perhaps it is fear of giving offense to the sort of folks who came up with campus speech codes?

    By by way of comparison, here are some pictures you might well expect to see in a truly free market of ideas.
