VIDEO-Melissa Harris-Perry Miffed NYT Showed Malik in Hijab | MRCTV

They would have used a photo of her in an NRA cap, but none was available . . .

Man, it's getting hard to navigate the nuanced shoals of political correctness. Now, even the ineffably sensitive New York Times has run afoul of the rules, as propounded by Melissa Harris-Perry. On her MSNBC show today, Harris-Perry griped that the Gray Lady had run a photo of Islamic terrorist killer Tafsheen Malik wearing a hijab. As per H-P, the Times was sending a message that "this is what terrorism looks like." Damn those bigoted anti-Muslim stereotypers of the New York Times.

But seriously, what was the poor Times supposed to do? What if it had photoshopped the hijab off Malik? Harris-Perry might have complained that by doing so the paper was suggesting that there was something offensive about the garment. Sometimes you just can't win with the PC crowd.
