Sensationalism or censorship?

[dfwgator]

Of course they had no problem with showing the riots in the wake of Katrina.

These people are delusional BUMP!

Todays motto is not all the News that is fit to print, But all the news slanted the way we want you to hear it.

[hershey]

Oh, right. The public has no right to know anything.

[dfwgator]

How Soviet of him.

Of course they had no problem with showing the riots in the wake of Katrina.

At first they did, but later it was a complete news blackout. Of course that's because there wasn't a camera crew willing to go in there, but it would have been blacked out nevertheless, I'm sure. Instead we got Shep crying on the overpass and Geraldo crying wi' de peoples.

[MeanWestTexan]

No, they have an agenda to stay in power, just like the MSM here:

"One of France's leading TV news executives has admitted censoring his coverage of the riots in the country for fear of encouraging support for far-right politicians."

[Great Caesars Ghost]

Now it's "All the news you need to hear."

[LIConFem]

Like all leftists, they're completely divorced from reality.

[dfwgator]

You don't really need to find out what's going on.
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, eat your dirty laundry.

Stupid French press.

When events happen in Israel and Iraq, they are so keen to show it.

Not only the french press is controlled, it makes false pictures for the world to see.

Antenne 2 (FR) lied during the intifada ....



Serve France right, more should be shown on FOX NEWS and make sure it looks far worse than it is.

ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS THE PARTY LINE ??

No, wait...that's the NYTIMES

[MarineBrat]

One of France's leading TV news executives has admitted censoring his coverage of the riots in the country for fear of encouraging support for far-right politicians.

Leftist scum so confident in nobody stopping him that he actually tells the truth about how he's lying?

[cgbg]

I think this guy was trying to say that he dosen't want French citizens to know the truth because if they knew the truth they might make decisions based on the truth.

That is what the MSM calls "objective journalism."

>Sensationalism or censorship?

After the fighting,
when the Muslims are in charge,
they'll still behead him

even though he helped
distract the citizens from
the war around them . . .

[steveyp]

These people lack the courage and belief in their country and their place in Western Civilization to fight anything.

My hatred for the French remains unstaunched.

[Gator101]

...leading TV news executives has admitted censoring his coverage of the riots in the country for fear of encouraging support for far-right politicians

Now why is it again that it is the Right that is always accused of censorship?

[My Favorite Headache]

Muslims are slacking...they really need to pick up the steam over there in France. Cars? C'mon...let's move to complete buildings and then suicide bombings at the Eifel Tower.

This is weak sauce on their part. Until France wakes the hell up and realizes exactly what is happening it deserves what it gets and that is piles of ashes as high as the sky.

Now we know what happened to Baghdad Bob!
