Salon on Charleston vs. Salon on Paris
After the Charleston church shooting, Salon ran a piece by Kali Holloway (via AlterNet) arguing that white America as a whole was complicit in Dylann Roof's racist violence. After the November 2015 Paris attacks, Salon ran Ben Norton's argument that Muslims should not be collectively blamed and that the West should examine its own violence abroad. Critics read the two pieces as applying opposite standards of collective responsibility.
