Thank You, Captain Obvious

I saw an editorial the other day. I don't remember where it was or who wrote it, but the point was something like this:

When cartoons parody Jesus, the major news outlets say, "Go with it. Freedom of speech and all that."

When cartoons parody Mohammed, the major news outlets say, "We won't print this, it's offensive."

He then goes on to suggest some sort of anti-Christian bias in the media. I don't think that's necessarily the case.

I think the media are just smart enough to know that Christian fundamentalists are a lot less likely to start torching embassies.
