It's a decent non-PC French/English blog with some enlightening entries. But overall I am dumbfounded by the lack of live or at least "on the scene" reporting of any kind. The MSM is paralyzed on this for some reason (and I have my suspicions).

Thanks for the citation.
I remember reading this blog in the past but hadn't saved or bookmarked it.
The info here is worlds ahead of the media tripe.
I could still do with more relevant blogs, if anyone has ideas. But I suppose that might be expecting too much actual initiative from the French.

This is an example of actual reporting from the blog that you do not see in the media:
Portions of French media are being overrun by true public sentiment (just as the Establishment was overrun by popular ire during the referendum on the European Constitution). Talk radio and web forums are coming down squarely in favor of Interior Minister Sarkozy with calls for a heavy hand when dealing with rioters. The French preSS is having none of this. Libération PropagandaStaffel and Le Monde Al-Jazeera on the Seine are dripping with compassion for humiliated French youth. On the TF1 - LCI news site, flagrant censorship in the face of dissenting opinions is barely concealed behind a statement asking readers to be patient because the web forum is overloaded and cannot take anymore comments. Rather than accept any further comments in favor of law and order (running 10-1 against the rioters before the shutdown), they prefer to close the forum:
