CNN President Jeff Zucker asked the various Muslim worker at CNN their opinion on Charlie Hebdo. Want any more proof why CNN is a joke and called the Charlie Hebdo cartoons ‘too offensive to show?’ There’s your answer. CNN had no problem showing the cartoon of a Jew in a cartoon done by Charlie Hebdo, but they blocked out the ‘prophet’ Mohammed in the same cartoon.

CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker yesterday told a town-hall meeting of network staffers that he conferred with Muslim employees of the network regarding his controversial decisions following last Wednesday’s terrorist attack on the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine. “I talked to employees in … hotspots. I reached out to Muslim employees. I reached out across the company,” says a source who attended the session, abridging Zucker’s message.
Though it’s unclear just what Zucker was told in those conversations, his decisions are quite public: CNN has stood among the most cautious of media organizations in its treatment of the edgy cartoons generated by the magazine; it showed neither the controversial cartoons of the prophet Muhammad that appeared to have prompted the attack nor the post-attack cover drawing, which depicts the prophet crying and holding a sign saying “Je Suis Charlie,” below a title, “All Is Forgiven.”
