I'm still stunned by the lack of live coverage. Could you imagine how cable news would react to a riot in Atlanta that torched 900 cars in one night? Yet it seems so quiet for 10 days of rioting.

Even a French official had said that this is not really newsworthy! He said that typically, 1,000 cars get torched every month in Paris. Even that is astonishing!

I've wondered about that too. This would be wall-to-wall if it were happening here- or in the UK.

How free IS the media in France? Do they have live cable 24/7 channels? How is this being shown to the French?

Troubles by Muslims in socialist France who appease Muslims terrorists and terrorist regimes is not a good thing to cover by our liberal media because these troubles make Chirac their hero looks very bad and very inept and on the other hand covering such riots will further prove that the United States is a much better country and President Bush is a much better leader. That is why the defeated liberal media will not cover this until we see horrible terrorist acts committed in France.
