The New York Times published two stories today about the latest cartoon cover of Charlie Hebdo, but still refuses to print the cartoon, saying it is needlessly offensive to Muslims.
The first issue of Charlie Hebdo published since last week’s massacre, which features a cartoon of Mohammed holding a “Je Suis Charlie” sign, is already being sold on Ebay for 20 to 200 times its cover price.
Last week, Vox’s Max Fisher wrote a stirring defense of Charlie Hebdo’s anti-Islamic extremism cartoons. This week, he says the magazine is racist.

Jeannette Bougrab, the partner of slain Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier, says he “died standing up.” She believes he should be honored for his sacrifice on behalf of free expression in France.
Stéphane Charbonnier (Charb for short) was often accused of Islamophobia, but he rejected that label, saying it was “backward thinking.”
Salon published an article titled “We must stop deferring to religion: Laughable absurdities must be laughed at.” The piece, which directly connects the murders in Paris Wednesday to Islam, is a departure for a magazine which has spent nearly a decade beating a drum against Christian theocracy in America even as it attacks critics of Islam as Islamophobes.
In the wake of the attack on a French satirical paper yesterday, the progressive left has renewed an argument which says anyone who believes Islamic extremism is at war with western culture is an extremist themselves.
In Paris and in America, freedom is under assault by extremists from around the globe.
Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson spoke to Breitbart News about her plans to sue the Department of Justice and the U.S. Postal service for allegedly hacking into her computers.

With the worldwide drop in oil prices, Venezuela has slipped into another recession. Now experts warn the country’s already high levels of inflation could skyrocket next year.
Occupy may be gone, but it is clearly not forgotten. The people protesting Eric Garner’s death in New York City were marching to a slightly different drum beat in 2011, but they seem to have returned, having learned something from their previous mistakes.
A press release for the 2002 workshop put on by David Duke’s European American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO) makes no mention of Steve Scalise as one of the featured speakers.
Deadspin summarizes the situation bluntly: “Vox repeatedly crapped the bed in 2014.” This is followed by a list with 46 examples of corrections to Vox stories. As you’ll see below, Deadspin left out a few.
Protesters tried to shut down a St. Louis mall Sunday night. When police arrived and tried to usher them out, some protesters started running through a Macy’s store, knocking over displays of merchandise. One person was arrested.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released the latest issue of Inspire magazine on Christmas Eve. The new issue contains a recipe for making a bomb powerful enough to bring down an air liner.
In what may be the silliest argument for not seeing The Interview, Vox’s Max Fisher argues that seeing it actually helps Kim Jong-Un.
The state of Hawaii was selected in September as one of four finalist sites of the future Barack Obama presidential library. Now the state has submitted possible designs for the center which would be located on the coast, not far from Waikīkī.

Last Friday, Washington Post fact-checked Jonathan Gruber’s congressional testimony about Obamacare subsidies. After looking at the evidence the Post awarded his explanation two Pinocchios. That’s not a bad outcome given the facts; however, the Post missed something which really should
Four years ago a deranged man shot into a crowd of people in Tucson, Arizona. Within hours the leading voices of the Left identified the real culprit. It wasn’t the mentally troubled man who pulled the trigger: It was Sarah Palin and the “climate of hate” created by the Tea Party. After this weekend’s shooting of two police officers, the Left seems to have collective amnesia about the “climate of hate” argument.
