It seems the French govt. is impotent in it's response to what seems are jihadist thugs and it seems the American media has put a news blackout filter to what is really happening, so as not to embarass their heroes, Chirac et al.

Isn't that the truth!!

Just did a Yahoo News Search on "France riots". It brings up 5 news photos - two from today and 3 from October 29! Today's "news photos" are nearly identical and feature France's Minister for Employment, Social Cohesion (huh?!) and Housing Jean-Louis Borloo


Reuters - Sat Nov 5, 9:09 AM ET

France's Minister for Employment, Social Cohesion and Housing Jean-Louis Borloo (R) speaks to journalists as French Finance Minister Thierry Breton (L) listens in the courtyard after a ministerial meeting at the prime minister's Hotel Matignon offices in Paris following the ninth night of riots in the suburbs, November 5, 2005. Violence erupted again in poor suburbs of Paris where youths torched buildings and dozens of cars and sporadic unrest spread in the early hours of Saturday to at least three other French cities.

That's it, folks, for news photos of "France riots".

However, "Argentina riots" on Yahoo News Search, generates 48 news photos!

Bias? Nah! (/sarcasm)

The American MSM is in love with France.

Can't say a bad word about their heroes and there is no trouble in paradise.

I'm with you on the MSM blackout, however, I found that at Yahoo news that the insurrection was the lead story, featuring a slide show of 155 photographs.
