A number of prominent imams and clerics spoke out against the newest cover of Charlie Hebdo, which shows a crying Mohammed with a sign that said “Je Suis Charlie.” Hate preacher Anjem Choudary called it an “act of war.” Lesser known self-proclaimed teachers of Islam used social media to condemn the cover.

They are followed by many of the Twitter accounts that Breitbart News regularly publishes to expose the insanity of radical Islamists.

And yet unlike most politicians, Murdoch has always had a reputation for candor. And Twitter, of course, makes candor even easier; we are all just a tweet away from letting loose what we really think.
It is common for White House spokespeople to spin the facts–to find the interpretation that best flatters the president. It is rare, but not unheard of, for White House spokespeople to lie about facts that are not yet fully known to the public. It is extraordinary for White House spokespeople to lie about facts that everyone already knows. Yet that is exactly what Josh Earnest did on Tuesday, when trying to explain why the Obama administration strains to avoid mentioning radical Islam.
