Paris is Still Burning
A post from Coffeesnob.... "If your of the opinion that the unrest in France had just gone away, you wouldn't be alone. You would be hard pressed to have found any news about the riots in the past week. Even FoxNews.com went dead on the issue until this morning. A school security guard died from a heart attack fighting a car fire.
If you read the story, you find out that it is more than just cars and a few buildings lost to the riots. Turns out more than 9000 cars were burned along with "several hundred buildings." If this were happening in the US, the Democrats would already be holding hearings and the usual suspects would haul out the usual whipping boy's, the world wouldn't hear the end of it for years.
The last I heard on this issue was about a week ago on FNC,it went something like this. Some French official, I think the mayor of Paris, stated with joy that the unrest has subsided and things were getting back to normal. This guy has a funny idea of what "normal" is. The night before he made this statement, 450 cars and 2 schools had been burned.
Now it could be that like me, no one in the US really cares if France burned to the ground. That would be a reason for the lack of news. With the number of gutless chunks of fecal matter (scientific name for liberals) running a muck in the US, I find that scenario implausible. If you have any ideas on this issue feel free to let us all hear them. I have given up on how news becomes and stays news in this Country."

Jack, it's so obvious. For the left media to report that Paris is burning and that France has failed in its "lets get in a circle and hug" strategy would be to report that the policies that it so embraces could cause such a catastrophy
For the right media to report such events would be like reporting that the sun was rising in the East. Everyone knew it was going to happen so its not that great of news.
