The mainstream media seemed to have settled on the sobriquet of “youths” to describe the people who are in their 13th night of burning cars, buildings, and in one instance a handicapped woman, in cities across France. Of course, it is hard to get an exact demographic profile of rioters on the run; however, reports on those who have been arrested are that only 30% are under 21.
Typical of the 2,300 stories on this subject currently available on Google News, is this one from ABC International, posted in written form on the Net on 6 November, entitled “Chirac vows order as French riots spread.”
This two-page article refers to the perpetrators alternately as “rioters” or “youths,” using both phrases multiple times. Not until near the end does the article make any reference to the fact that most of these rioters, in Germany and France, are Muslims.
A half page from the end, after paragraphs about unemployment and desperation, the article does say,
“Authorities say drug traffickers and Islamist militants are helping organize the unrest, via the Internet and mobile phones, among the North and sub-Saharan African immigrant communities who make up a significant part of many suburban housing estates.”
“Despite the worst destruction since the riots started, a police spokesman called for a sense of proportion: "It's 211 districts out of 36,000, so France is not burning.’ ” Perhaps the police spokesman who made this comment has not seen Jack Nicholson in the movie, “Mars Attacks!” who says after the Martians have destroyed the Congress, “Two out of three branches of the government are still functioning, and that ain’t bad.”

None of the reporting on these riots, nor any reporting on riots that have occurred in the US, have dared to mention what is really happening in such events. Each such an event is another proof that in certain circumstances, civilization breaks down into barbarism, as in the novel, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding.
It was a dead, white, French philosopher, Rene Descartes, who wrote, “Cogito ergo sum.” (I think, therefore I am.) These live, non-white, Muslim philosophers have modified that to, “Destruo ergo sum.” (I destroy, therefore I am.)
Sooner or later, the press has to report the truth that what we are observing is a clash of civilizations. Or more accurately, a clash between modern civilization and barbarity. They don’t want to report that. It would undercut their preconceptions. Perhaps they are so untutored in both history and philosophy not to understand that yet. But harsh events when cities burn and people die have ways of educating even the dullest observers.

How do you say "I don't think, therefore I will cease to exist".
And it was the eurotrash leadership that lecturing us about the situation in New Orleans after Katrina. Can you imagine if W had waited so long to act there! Sure wish I could find some of the quotes.
The only thing that can save France now is if the Germans decide to invade to prevent the further spread of the riots.
In fact, Chirac ought to call the current German chancellor and offer to be annexed so they can get the Leopards rolling into Paris as soon as possible.
I'm sure there are still some frogs that remember the words to the Horst Wessel song...
I have heard there was rioting in Denmark, but Germany too?
So the internet's now part of the media??? Then I suppose it is becoming more truthful. And accurate.
Come to think of it, I've been using the tagline "The internet is the newspaper of record" for some time now. Sometimes your subconscious just gets way ahead of your awareness.
Okay. The media's reporting plenty. (But network television is still the same old propaganda machine.) And note tagline.

Interesting wording. I know you meant reporting in the United States on French riots, but it sounds like reporting on riots that have occured in the US.

You are so right. These are the same nitwits that reported the serial killers and thugs of the 1970's as "misunderstood victims of society."
If an event doesn't happen to them directly, they will spin it in utopian, blind, politically correct fashion. This is their religion. Nothing can disprove it in their feeble minds.
The fact that it took them so long to cover the riots at all speaks volumes. In their heart of hearts, they know...
Read the first few sentences. About the ages of the perps.

Cowards perhaps?
I would guess that a group of people burning a 1,000 cars a night aren't too concerned about a curfew.
Quite correct.
There are TWO stories going on simultaneously.
1. The widespread riots in France.
2. And how the MSM is reporting them.
Both stories betray the utter bankruptcy of liberalism. Confronted by a failure, they cannot call it by its name.
Yes,.."The average Freeper" but not my "liberal" friends or relatives who still have their heads, hearts and minds stuck up their you know what's or in the sand.
They just don't get it.
We Freepers do, but then, we're smarter, more perceptive and prescient, better looking and more well informed than the average Dim, and very Dim and Dimmerer.

Try:
"non cogito, ergo rigormorteo,"
as a rough draft.
Add Belgium to the list. At least three days worth there, too.
Anyway, after reading our local newspaper and watching TV I simply can't tell who is really to blame except, somehow, "us", I have decided to take a hint from the current writhing of the fashionable French and simply have to ask (strictly as a fashion statement, you understand!),... does this .357 magnum and bandolier of 12 Gage #4 buckshot make me look fat??
