Well, I guess when you think of bravery, don’t think of AP.

Chickenshits - although they haven’t been a reliable source of journalism and truth for a long time, thus I am not surprised

The AP has cravenly surrendered. It probably has something to do with making a dollar, too.
I think that’s bullshit. When the AP whimpers and whines about the 1st amendment in any form, don’t bother to take them as a credible source. I haven’t for a long time. Overreaction is just as bad as not being willing to stand by your reporting, which includes the images and cartoons you keep on file that accompanied your previous reporting. If its in their archives as an example of a story they’ve already done, then self-censorship at this point seems to be a meaningless dead letter approach. Its nothing more than succumbing to intimidation by a criminal element that should be a pariah to all.

So I’m guessing AP actually stands for All Pussies?

Any body but jihadists think that Allah was without humor?
So sorry to those that lost their lives at Charlie Hebdo. Thank you for continuing to publish criticism about Muhammad even after being attacked the first time.
Bad move AP.
Anyone have thoughts on how to publish/display images critical of Muhammad in a way that the terrorists attack themselves?
Get them into an issue of Jihadists Weekly or something?
Every media organ in the west ought to carry at least one Charlie Hebdo cartoon every day for the rest of the month. If they’re afraid to do so, they might as well close down.
he Associated Press on Wednesday removed photos that included French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo’s Muhammed cartoons from its commercial photo system following the attack on the magazine, Buzzfeed News reported…
The photos that include the cartoons will remain on the wire service.
This makes no sense. Is the “wire service” different from the “commercial photo system”? I would guess so from this statement, but, if so, what is the difference? Inquiring minds want to know. Apparently the reporter doesn’t.
Yeah, had the same question. Maybe the commercial photo system makes the photos available for separate sale, as opposed to the complete AP stories that include the photos offered on the wire service? But yeah, I suspect somebody wrote that with no more certainty about the difference than we’ve got.
Or, perhaps, they removed only photos that showed only the cartoons but left photos of the papers with the cartoons visible? In any event, the statements are confusing and should not have been drafted by a competent journalist, much less posted on an official website.
I guess they’ll be scrubbing all of “The Interview” stories next.
Poltroons.
“Although we are not at this time showing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet considered offensive by many Muslims, platforms are encouraged to verbally describe the cartoons in detail. This is key to understanding the nature of the attack on the magazine and the tension between free expression and respect for religion,” CNN senior editorial director Richard Griffiths said in the memo.
Excuse me, but I’d prefer to see the actual art, rather than some cowardly journalist’s written description of the art.

The Louvre has announced all works of art depicting women with exposed faces will be pulled from display, as various Islamic inspired terrorist organizations have made clear they will shoot up the office of the curator as punishment unless it is done.
If the press really believed in freedom of the press every News paper and TV station would be showing all these cartoons and not be wimps like the AP
