Charlie Hebdo magazine editor Caroline Fourest was a guest on Sky News today, and when she started to hold up a copy of the latest issue, the station couldn’t cut away fast enough.
It was enough to make the host apologize to any viewers who were offended:

Watch SkyNews jerk the camera like a scared rabbit at the sight of…GASP..a magazine cover. Score one for terrorism https://t.co/QPyWaBNlUy

Sky News is getting heavily criticized:
@SkyNews @CarolineFourest Respect to Caroline. Disrespect to Sky. "News is what somebody does not want you to print.”

@SkyNews willing to show bodies in street and bloodstained floor in supermarket but too cowardly to show a magazine cover. Pathetic

As the Daily Caller’s Jim Treacher pointed out, at least somebody who does not want to appear on Sky News now knows exactly what to do:
Note to anyone who's ambushed by @SkyNews: If you want to be left alone, just hold up the #CharlieHebdo cover. https://t.co/t6MtngdlYh

As we’ve seen, that would definitely do the trick.
