Media Shrinks in Fear

Even while the intellectual elite celebrate the denigration of Christianity, the American media shrinks from offending radical Islam.

Tim Blair has the best line regarding the media's suddenly pantywaist attitude towards giving offense:

They won’t publish cartoons, but they will run anything they can get out of Abu Ghraib. Both sets of images provoke Islamic anger; note how the media behaves when that anger is directed at them.

On a side note, I still await the first reports of Christian violence over Osama bin Christ. It is possible that the Dangerous Believers are already out shooting up art supply depots, but Rove's Monkey Media has chosen to ignore yet another example of Jesus Jihad.

It is also possible that the far left has intentionally demogogued Christians unfairly to score cheap political points.

The answer may be hours away.
