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."

What do Catholics have against crucifixes?

You seem to be intentionally avoiding the point.

Last time I checked, we as Christians have no prohibitions on displaying the
image of Christ. I see plenty of them each Sunday and Wednesday.

Last time I checked, the network and cable news services were secular
organizations constitutionally protected by the 1st Amendment.

The sculpture may have been in bad taste (har, har), but it wasn't really
offensive to me. The Muhammed cartoons are offensive to an entire religion.

Really doesn't particularly bug me either. The planned protests and
boycotts didn't bug me either. Neither did the hotel (gallery?)
cancelling the exhibition in response to the planned protests. Each
and every one constitutionally protected rights.

What does bug me, though, is the gutlessness and hypocrisy of the
Fourth Estate in this regard.

Do you think there is equal danger of violence from Catholic
terrorists as from Muslim terrorists? I'm glad you're not an
insurance actuary.
