Courage?
Joan Walsh returns to (bad) form. She thinks there's nothing really daring about this strip. And she doesn't get why others aren't running it. But somehow she believes that running it highlights Salon's "courage." How?
You disply courage only when you face a danger. To believe Salon is displaying courage, she must there's a risk here. Either from fundamentalist Muslims or from other American media outlets. In which case the strip isn't as innocuous as she claims.
What risk does she think Salon incurs by running this strip? Who does she think will attack Salon, and why?
As if all too often the case, Walsh is her site's own worst advocate.
