Last Word on the Cartoons - Not Likely
Saturday, February 25, 2006
It seems the Danish newspaper that published the Mohammed cartoons has won a prize.
Denmark's largest daily was honoured with the Victor Prize for "having opened everyone's eyes by showing how easy it is to introduce cracks in freedom of expression and how so-called political correctness is infiltrating what we believe to be inalienable rights," said Hans Engell, the editor of tabloid Ekstra Bladet which awards the prize, during a prize ceremony in Copenhagen late on Thursday."Inalienable rights." I love that phrase. I wonder where I've heard that before. For exposing how "political correctness is infiltrating what we believe to be inalienable rights," a Danish newspaper has received an award.
Wouldn't it be nice if our own media here at home would consider standing up for some inalienable rights? Heck, maybe they could even win a prize for doing it.
