Creeping Sharia Watch

The editor of the Daily Illini is fired for committing journalism. As if we couldn’t see that coming. But it is important to note that those who fired him take their cues from the New York Times, CNN, Time, the Washington Post and much of the British press. The most important thing for today’s establishment journalists is not relaying the truth but avoiding offense. The student editor didn’t realize that. Now he does. And so Sharia-journalism inches forward.
