Charlie Hebdo journalist quits after magazine 'goes soft'

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The argument is an odd one: i.e. it is necessary for a satirical publication to endlessly re-use material whether there is any satirical point in doing so or not because publishing that material in the past resulted in the murder of many of its staff.* Effectively it's an argument for ossification, to turn the publication into a permanent memorial. Which does not really sit well with satire.

_{*There's also the difficult matter that some of the people who were murdered did not agree with publishing the cartoons in the first place o/c.}
