Mike Pitassi: Why is Bee cowering and refusing to publish cartoons?
We stand with Charlie.
If we really stand with Charlie we will publish all the different cartoons that have gotten a bunch of cartoonist slaughtered in France. I have not seen it done by one single news outlet? Why?
The media seems bold when not facing a true threat but when facing a real threat they cower. Come on Modbee! Front-page this stuff and call what happened what it is! Islam!

Editor’s note: Many of the cartoons published by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo are not suitable for a family publication. While The Bee abhors the heinous acts commited by zealots in the name of a misguided Muslim sect, we see no reason to unnecessarily antagonize readers who adhere to any religious belief.
