CBS This Morning was the only network morning show on Wednesday to actually allow the cover of Charlie Hebdo to be shown on air. As co-host Charlie Rose reported that "Across France people lined up this morning to buy copies of Charlie Hebdo's new edition," an image appeared on screen of French readers holding up their copies of the paper.

In the report that followed, correspondent Elizabeth Palmer held up her own copy of Charlie Hebdo: "One of the hard-working members of our crew here in Paris got up and was at the newsstand by 7:00 and was rationed to one copy. Predictably, this cover is causing waves among some conservative Muslims."
