Mohammed-Karikaturist Westergaard wirft ZDF Selbstzensur vor


Begründung des ZDF: "Unterhaltungs-Talkshow keine geeignete Plattform für eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema"

Der durch seine Mohammed-Karikatur berühmt gewordene dänische Zeichner Kurt Westergaard wirft dem ZDF "Selbstzensur" vor. Der Karikaturist sagte am Montag in Dänemarks größter Zeitung "Jyllands-Posten" (Århus), der öffentlich-rechtliche deutsche Sender habe ein für die Markus-Lanz-Talkshow vereinbartes Interview ohne Angabe von Gründen abgesagt. "Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass ein so großer Sender einknickt und Selbstzensur übt", sagte Westergaard.

O'Reilly Falafel Suit Turns Five


Happy anniversary, Bill O'Reilly! On this date five years ago, the Fox News Channel host was named in a sexual harassment lawsuit brimming with lurid details about vibrators, phone sex, threesomes, masturbation, Caribbean shower fantasies, a Thai sex show, falafel, stewardess trysts, vehicular coupling, and Al Franken. The New York State Supreme Court lawsuit filed by Andrea Mackris, a former Fox News producer, quoted O'Reilly verbatim and at length, leaving readers to believe that the TV star's dirty soliloquies were surreptitiously recorded (an impression reinforced when the lawsuit was settled within two weeks).
