I believe I called this one

That's right, CNN won't be showing any of the cartoons that prompted Muslim gunmen to "avenge the prophet" through the slayings of 12 people at Charlie Hebdo, the Paris satire magazine that published the cartoons. And as Hot Air points out, the CNN memo letting employees know that they are now all dhimmi:

[Senior CNN editorial director Richard] Griffiths’ email:
Although we are not at this time showing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet considered offensive by many Muslims, platforms are encouraged to verbally describe the cartoons in detail. This is key to understanding the nature of the attack on the magazine and the tension between free expression and respect for religion.
Video or stills of street protests showing Parisians holding up copies of the offensive cartoons, if shot wide, are also OK. Avoid close-ups of the cartoons that make them clearly legible.
It’s also OK to show most of the protest cartoons making the rounds online, though care should be taken to avoid examples that include within them detailed depictions of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons.

And yes, apparently it is specific enough at CNN to refer to Mohammed simply as "the Prophet." I guess accepting your subjugation is like being pregnant -- you can't just accept it a little. And here I always thought The Prophet was a novel by Kahlil Gibran.

CNN hasn't been a news leader for years, though, and this is no exception -- there are lots of cowardly organizations in the lamestream media. According to Hot Air, NBC won't be showing the cartoons, Fox News showed them once and will not do so again, and the AP won't even show the cartoons on its website.

NBC News spox to me right now says they will not be showing cartoons that “could be viewed as insensitive”

The AP, just coincidentally, I'm sure, yesterday removed from its website it's picture of Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ," a work of "art" depicting a crucifix submerged in urine. The AP has offered the picture for sale since it was taken in 1987. Apparently, someone complained that the AP was offering a photo offensive to Christians but wouldn't run pictures of the Charlie cartoons.

I'm sure this is yet another issue on which the lamestreams will stand united. Expect to be seeing those Charlie cartoons, um, nowhere in the lamestream media. Fear not -- got ya covered:

There's lots more.

OMG! Sequester!

So, we're in Day 3 of the sequester, I guess. I'm afraid to leave the house because Barry told me none of the traffic lights will work or all the cops will be laid off or airplanes will be crashing all around me or something like that. I can't remember, because I wasn't listening. Why not? Because of horseshit like this:

I guess Maxine doesn't know that there are only about 155 million Americans in the workforce to begin with, and that a shit load of them already don't have jobs. Apparently, all of the rest of us will be losing our jobs soon, and some of us will have to lose our jobs twice, I guess, to reach the level of job loss Maxine is calling for. This wouldn't be quite so pathetic if it weren't so predictable. And guess how much the media covered it? Mainstreams much? No. When I did my Google search, I came up with lots of hits for this, but not a single one from the Lamestream Media. No ABC, CBS, NBC, New York Times,  Washington Post. None of them. Put words this stupid in the mouth of a Republican and watch the media light up. Shit, they tried to roast Marco Rubio for taking a drink of water. Idiocy like this from a libtard? Crickets. At least Leno noticed.
