"CNN has chosen to not show the sculpture in respect for
Christianity."
"CNN is not showing the negative caricature of the likeness of Jesus
Christ because the network believes its role is to cover the events
surrounding the display of the art while not unnecessarily adding fuel
to the controversy itself."
Oh... waitaminute. CNN *did* show the sculpture of a naked,
anatomically-correct, Chocolate Jesus. As did ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC,
and Fox.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... sorry. My mistake. Correct quotes below:
"CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons in respect for Islam."
"CNN is not showing the negative caricatures of the likeness of
Prophet Mohammed because the network believes its role is to cover the
events surrounding the publication of the cartoons while not
unnecessarily adding fuel to the controversy itself."

"Both for practical reasons and for mathematically verifiable moral
reasons, authority and responsibility must be equal - else a balancing
takes place as surely as current flows between points of unequal
potential. To permit irresponsible authority is to sow disaster; to
hold a man responsible for anything he does not control is to behave
with blind idiocy. The unlimited democracies were unstable because
their citizens were not responsible for the fashion in which they
exerted their sovereign authority... other than through the tragic
logic of history." (Major Reid, "Starship Troopers")
