#1 We've uh had problems with ~~africans~~ thugs trying to interfere with the Mississipuh way of life too. I know France is at least as pure as Mississipuh.

#3 "I think that was a misquote".

Yes, JFM remarked that, there were edits in the tv reportage, one could wonder if that was done deliberately to "demonize" Sarko, possibly within the rivalry with "de Villepin" (who's a man). If that's so, then one of the rationale and talking point of the rioters might be attributed to the french political infighting, that's "funny"...

Further lack of consuming attention noted by France5 posted by Joe N. @ 11:05 AM

âArrÃªt sur Imagesâ (freeze frame), a media-watch program hosted by Daniel Schneidermann is the only French public affairs TV show that ever questions the domestic media on a regular basis. Schneidermann is a career journalist who was fired by Le Monde for having written a book that had criticized their editorial line.

Todayâs subject was, not surprisingly, the recent coverage of the riots.

It appears that Nicolas Sarkozy was deliberately demonized in the TV reports of him using his strong language earlier in the week. In fact, there was footage available showing Sarkozy using the word âracailleâ (riff-raff) while speaking to an inhabitant of Clichy-sous-Bois who herself had just used the word while expressing how fed up she was with local crime.

Sarko answered her using her own words. In politics, thatâs a way of communicating empathy. Her words were edited out and never shown in the insuing days. His werenât. âArrÃªt sur Imagesâ showed the whole exchange today.

Mr. Sarkozy was filmed quietly and calmly speaking to youths from Clichy who were apparently very deferential toward him (calling him Monsieur), eager to talk to him and seemed impressed that he was willing to leave himself unprotected by bodyguards in order to spend some time with them. In a what amounts to a ghetto thatâs a sincere display of trust.

That footage didnât make the news programs simply because the Provisional wing of the CGT got in the way of honest journalism. It didnât suit their political agenda, and through itsâ heavy ideological editing fanned the flames you might see in your nearest car park or bus depot. Never mind the possible tensions that the press can inflame by reporting too much, worry about what harm is caused by consciously reporting too little.

Schneidermannâs âA vous de le direâ sounds like is comes from the same place and a reaction to the same wall of silence as âWe report, you decideâ.

Many thanks to Valerie
