Yellow Press

Captains Quarters contrasts media coverage to the Muslim cartoon controversy and the delay in releasing information about the shooting incident involving Dick Cheney and concludes:
When our media has the testicular fortitude to report on terrorists honestly, then they will have gained the moral authority to lecture any White House on censorship and the responsibility of fully informing the public. Until then, such demonstrations as we saw this week by the White House press corps only stands as a perverse monument to the media's hypocrisy and venality.

Also, be sure to read this article by Jeff Jacoby, which discusses one newspaper's refreshing honesty as to why their editorial staff elected not to run the cartoons.
