The new cover of Charlie Hebdo magazine. MSNB refuses to show it because it shows the prophet Mahomet with a sign saying "it's all forgiven" (not an accurate translation), is this the first victim of freedom of speech?

 

Previous covers:

"I'm Jesus, next week you should go for the resurrection coup/championship".

"Mohammed overwhelmed by the terrorist", I can't translate the rest my Spanish might allow me to understand some French but not all of it.

The politics of MSNBC notwithstanding, I thought it was a brilliant cover.

MSNBC responds to it's decision not to show the new cover of Charlie Hebdo. When all is said and done, I think that MSNBC makes some valid points.

Thought this might be interesting....

Interesting the article quotes Scarborough and Mika Brezhinski's response, but doesn't mention that the more liberal hosts on MSNBC were quite openly disgusted with the network's decision not to run the cover.

 

Most of these networks will gleefully run video footage of a shooting. But a cartoon? Well, that's just a step too far.

The way I've seen this translated is "Mohammed overwhelmed by the fundamentalists" and "It's a drag being loved by assholes." See my first post in this thread and its link to a LiveJournal page with this cover image that was posted as a tribute to friends of the blogger who worked at Charlie Hebdo and were killed in the attack as well as everyone else at the journal.

I've watched all week the news reports on French TV and only today got to hear and watch how US media are approaching the events.

 

There's definitely a 'difference in style' and also in the message each of them wants to pass. Very interesting.

SD, can you give a short synopsis of how French TV approaches these events differently, even if stylistically?
