Jeff Zucker Explains Why CNN Isn't Airing Charlie Hebdo Cartoons





After a Paris shooting that left a dozen dead at Charlie Hebdo's offices, U.S. networks are grappling with how to broadcast the magazine's provocative cartoons of Mohammed. CNN, in particular, has been under scrutiny for a cautious position in dealing with the images. On Thursday, Jeff Zucker weighed in on how the the network would approach the issue. According to a story co-bylined by the network's Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter, the CNN Worldwide president said during a staff meeting on Thursday, "Journalistically, every bone says we want to use and should use" the images. A network rep said, Fox News is currently not planning to show the Charlie Hebdo images as of now. Similarly, MSNBC is not airing the images. http://yhoo.it/1BQWOYP http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
