Charlie Hebdo to Print 1 Million Copies in Defiance After Attack

 

Charlie Hebdo plans to publish a million copies of the satirical magazine known for its unapologetically irreverent cartoons on Jan. 14, after eight of its journalists were massacred this week by gunmen.

In what would be an act to show that “we can’t let them win,” the weekly will publish with the help of other French media organizations nearly 17 times its normal print run, its lawyer Richard Malka said on France Info radio today. The magazine, which has a circulation of 60,000, will have eight pages instead of the usual 16.

    2. It should be, but I doubt it. Our president has us divided on racial and ethnic lines with no clear national purpose other than multiculturalism.

      That, but a race war would be cream on the top.

    1. Be nice to have one though. In the final days before Saigon fell, I bought the local English papers and they are a treasure.

  3. Two comedians, one I like (conservative Greg Gutfeld) and the other not so much (leftie Bill Maher), agree on this one:
