The Media Cave-In is Complete

NRO’s media blog reports that Comedy Central really did censor the Mohammed image on last night’s episode of South Park: Comedy Central Censored Mohammed.

I just got off the phone with a Comedy Central spokesman. I asked him about last night’s episode of South Park in which, at a moment right before the prophet Mohammed was supposed to make a cameo, the words, “Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Mohammed on their network” appeared on the screen.

I asked him whether this truly was Comedy Central’s decision or whether this was just another gag (with South Park, you never know). He said:

They reflected it accurately. That was a Comedy Central decision.

Michelle Malkin has more.
