The main reason that the dying, Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms in this country try to spike any stories about Old Europe's multitude of miserable failures - - stagnant economies, rampant unemployment, decaying infrastructures, bankrupt governments, failed welfare states, failed appeasement policies, etc. - - is because it reflects so badly on their own party's agenda to import Euro-style secular socialism to America.
These newsrooms' conscious decision to avoid reporting on the current intifadas in France and Denmark are just the tip of the iceberg. Expect the dying, liberal "mainstream" newsrooms here to spend considerably more time "reporting" about the anti-Bush protests in South America and Panama over the next week or so. That's the kind of stuff that's right down their alley.
Meanwhile, citizens who care to keep themselves informed will stay tuned right here at Free Republic and other internet sources, as well as talk radio and cable news. Nobody who truly takes their news seriously watches the networks or reads the New York Times, lol. Nobody.
"Nobody who truly takes their news seriously watches the networks or reads the New York Times, lol. Nobody."
Would that were true. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people who think themselves well informed members of the elite because they read the Slimes and listen to NPR.
Another reason the MSM wont report this story truthfully is because the perpetrators are black.
