When the Pope made his statements recently, there were t.v. camera's ready to catch peoples reactions in remote/obscure parts of india,etc; but when the prophet Mohammed cartoon fiasco emerged, the actual cartoons had been published months previously with no "outrage". Do you see what i'm getting at?

Yes. The Pope's comments read in their entirety also condemn the secular media and their distortions.
This was not reported. Media successfully made the public look in a different direction than the speech intented. Happens ALL the time in US journalism. This helps manipulate the message to the people.
That is why I usually investigate further than what our journalist put out as the main headline. These are rating driven, not factual most of the time.

The pope is a high profile figue whoes words effect over a billion believers. The newspaper who published the cartoons is an obsure Danish one that only has a local reach. The discemination of the cartoons, and the reaction, only took place after other papers saw them as way of getting a reaction.

Think of the pope as a head of government a politician - we all know what politicians are and the americans have proved it more than any other nation by electing more than one actor as president!
unfortunately the kinda actors that politicians are/become dinna seem ter haf any morals whatsoever THEY are the Big Brother that George Orwell wrote about

Like I always say...no news sells like bad news.
I am from N Ireland. The media would hype up the violence there too. They love it and stir up much more hatred than they should. It sells newspapers and television advertising time and wins ratings.
Not all Muslims are nutters, not all men are sexist pigs, not all drunks are violent, and most of all NOT ALL STEREOTYPES ARE TRUE!!

Not really, no.
No one got insulted by the cartoon for months, therefore it wasn't huge news. News has to be a right-now thing, and if it isn't relative to what is happening today, it doesn't get reported (unless the news is slow that day).
