More Cartoon Casualties

Gutsy. The NY Press runs some really viluent anti-Israel stuff. I pick it up occasionally anyway because they used to be equal-opportunity offenders.

The editorial staff of the alternative weekly New York Press walked out today, en masse, after the paper's publishers backed down from printing the Danish cartoons that have become the center of a global free-speech fight.

There's a clear lack of concordance between the objectives of the publishers and the editors of the NY Press. Just last year, an editor was forced out after the publisher decided criticism of the pope was too nasty. The publishers may not be devoted to free speech, but they're consistent.
