Folks, this was previously listed here, but not in this format.

I have mirrored the original posting of the actual video of this incident

The MSM sure has been quiet on thi FRECH AUTROCITY.

Okay, I've spent the last 2-3 weeks trying to figure out what the acronym "MSM" means so that I didn't have to ask and look like I was completely out of the loop.

So now I'm breaking down and asking: What is MSM?

The Ivorian Government is taking its case to the International Court of Justice.

I am sure that the French Gubermunt will abide by any ruling of the International Court of Justice. [/sacarsm]

MSM = Main Steam Media

Main Stream Media

I downloaded and watched both videos last night. It's hard to determine who shot the civilians who all were apparently unarmed.

At one point in one of the videos you see a black soldier with a rifle slung over hois shoulder. But nobody appears to be afraid of him.

Hey...where is that NBC reporter when we need him?

[bluefish]

Others have answered what the acronum stands for. I would like to contribute to the definition itself:

OM (Old Media)
TSM (Terrorist Sympathizer Media)
LM (Leftist Media) DLM (Dictator Loving Media)
UNSM (UN Spokesperson Media)
AAM (Anti-American Media)

You get the point.

I had to search Google news for the past 2 weeks to barely find mention of this incident. Had it been US troops, we would be in deep kimchi right now.

Leftist Media is a redundancy like cold snow.

The French are terrorists - they support terrorists, they harbor terrorists, they worked with the biggest terrorist in the world (Saddam) on an oil for food scam that is now funding terrorists in Iraq - why am I not suprised the French are on the side of the bad guys and killing civilians, most of which are Christian btw.....the French are a disgusting people

[sam_paine]

What the heck are the pictures of? French jerseys and ketchup?

[Tacis]

The French are what they can get the most money for being! If the good guys are paying the biggest bribes, the French are good guys. If the Nazis, Iraqis, Iranians, North Koreans, Vichy, communists, etc. than that's what the French are!

the frenchies figured it would be safer shooting unarmed civilians that troops that might shoot back
