Media Cowardice Causes Staff Walkout

NY Press Kills Cartoons; Staff Walks Out

The NY Press lost its entire editorial staff in fell swoop by refusing to run the Danish cartoons that have set the Muslim world aflame.

I complained about the media cowardice last week, and others have made similar complaints throughout the blogosphere. Questions about the media's willingness to offend Jews or Christians but tiptoe around Muslims are starting to be raised and the media is being challenged on their obvious religious bias.

Bravo to the editorial staff who took a stand for their journalistic integrity and actually walked off the job rather than comply. It was an act of courage which they admittedly took with some degree of reluctance, but I can't blame them: giving up your income voluntarily is never an easy decision to make.

Hopefully, their walkout will raise the profile of the religious bias issue to a level that even the media won't be able to ignore.
