Ronan Farrow: We’re Not Showing Hebdo Cartoons Because We Have ‘Standards’

‘NBC News has been very public about our standards about this. We don’t show some of the most offensive ones’

"The two big themes here are: the French people mourning and I think obviously the widow of the man most central to this story shows that on such a deeply personal level. But of course, this determination to  move forward, Joe, and Caroline's  interview which you played a little bit really speaks to that. When she heard that there are certain U.S. networks and UK networks that were blurring images of the prophet on the new cover that won't show them -- of course, NBC News has been very public about our standards about this, we don't show some of the most offensive ones -- she said, 'that means theocracy is already taking over.' So an interesting perspective there."
