After losing its ten staff members on Wednesday, Charlie Hebdo, French satirical magazine, released the cover of its new edition, showing the drawing of the Prophet Muhammad crying and holding sign "Je suis Charlie." However many of international media such as Mirror, CNN, BBC and Daily Mail are reluctant to speak of the cover. They address the issue instead.

The magazine says they are planning to launch 3 million copies. BBC and Mail Online readers are furious and they rejected the cover. Have a look at their comments below.

"So where is it? Gutless lot......."

"DM is a disgrace - where's the cover?"

"Go look at The Guardian, a paper with the guts to print it."

"The Guardian has 10 times the guts of the DM - the Charlie Hebdo cover is on the front page."

"The daily mail is either pandering to the politically correct for fear of causing offence, or, it's running scared and has been BEATEN by the terrorists. Which is it?"

"No paper will show the cartoon in this country, every one is too afraid of reprisals. In this respect the terrorist have won.// Absolute rubbish, the picture is on the front page of The Guardian."

"It will be interesting to see if any UK news media, has the guts to show what they (CHARLIE) print on Wednesday, or will it be a case of not in our back yard. Cameron talked about free speech, lets see."

"Just like the politicians, lots of words no actions. When marching the other day it would have been better if they had all marched holding up posters of Charlie Hebdo's cartoons. Now that's standing shoulder to shoulder! DM publish you cowards."
"You've published the article without the picture that the article is about. Not very Je Suis Charlie. Shame on you."
