Via Belmont Club:

French Journalist: "Politics in France is heading to the right and I don’t want rightwing politicians back in second, or even first place because we showed burning cars on television," Jean-Claude Dassier, the director general of the rolling news service TCI, says. ... Hence Dassier’s channel, which is owned by the private broadcaster TF1, has decided not to show footage of burning cars. Dassier also criticised the “excessive” coverage of the riots by international (read: Anglo-Saxon) news networks. ... Early this week the public television station France 3 had already stopped broadcasting the daily number of torched cars, while other TV stations followed suit. "Do we send teams of journalists because cars are burning, or are the cars burning because we sent teams of journalists?"

WOW......the reaction from Mon. Jean-Claude Dassier is unbelievable. More appeasement from the socialist French public TV.

"Do we send teams of journalists because cars are burning, or are the cars burning because we sent teams of journalists?"

Keep asking the question... soon enough you'll find the cars of the journalists are burning.
