Why is the Press So Worried About Censorship...

... when they censor themselves?

Word is out that many large national newspapers -- including The Washington Post -- will not carry the Opus Cartoons on August 26th and September 2nd for fear of --- offending Muslims. Of course, they never miss an opportunity to offend Christians or Jews.

However, you can still view the cartoons over at Salon.

If it is censorship when citizens groups band together to protest the publication of offensive material, why isn't it censorship when a newspaper refuses to publish an article or comic?
