The media is circling the wagons over the Notre Dame fire, and even FoxNews has joined in the enforced groupthink.
As I detailed in a prior article, the only explanation for Monday's monstrous fire and destruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is that it was a "construction accident."
This, despite the fact that, as French police confirmed, there were no construction workers on-site at the time of the fire, and that there had been a series of arson attacks and desecration of other French churches in the past three months.
But on all of the mainstream media, these facts are not being reported, and -- apparently -- can not even be discussed on air.
On FoxNews this afternoon, anchor Shepard Smith was dutifully reporting the "construction work" that likely caused the fire (and it may well have done so).
Then Shep brought on an actual French elected official, Philippe Karsenty, who one would think would have a bit more knowledge about a incident in France than would an American newsreader.
Mr. Karsenty discussed his horror at the legendary cathedral's near-total destruction. But then he merely mentioned the fact that it may well have been arson or even terrorism -- and all hell broke loose.
“Even the Nazis didn’t dare destroy it [Notre Dame cathedral],” Karsenty said. “And you have to know for the last year we’ve had churches desecrated each and every week all over France so of course you will hear the story of the politically correct which will tell you it is probably an accident.”
Shepard Smith immediately cut off Karsenty

So did I
As soon as he uttered those ugly condescending words......such an embarrassment.....I hurried over to CNN
Agree!
I am willing:
Holy Week. France. Muslims. Church Desecrations.
Yeah, the religion (ideology) of peace (death).
One word
ARSON

MUDSLIMES
It will be rebuilt as a mosque.
And this is why I no longer support this news channel.

Yeah, just like Dan Rather in Viet Nam. He told my late Dad, a PIO there, that “as long as I am bureau chief, America is only going to see the war the way I want them to see it!”
The French have experienced church vandalism for months and no one was reporting this so when this happened where do you think people gravitated too. Shep will eat his own sh## soon. This was a terrorist act and the French government narrative will be “it was an accident” to protect their army of invaders against their own people
Kilmeade and friends all gave shep praise during the last half hour, as did did Stuart Varney. Made me sick! I called Fox yesterday to tell them that shep’s coverage was so despicable I switched to cnn.
