Rioting Spreads to 20 Towns Around Paris Rioters Shoot at Police, Torch Car Dealerships, Buses in Eighth Day of Violence in Paris Suburbs
I find it baffling what little coverage these riots in Paris are getting from the mainstream U.S. news services, until now. Sure it has been mentioned a little during the course of the week, here and there and in between the "Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: 'The Dienatics duet'" and "How to trick your man into eating Tex-Mex" headlines. I finally saw my first real snippet of footage on CNN last night before bed, but eight days of rioting in a major European city and we barely hear about it?
If this happened in New York city, the whole world would be glued to the media coverage, laughing and ridiculing the incompetent Bush administration. On second thought, nevermind they do that anyway, but it seems to me that this riot in Paris should be a much bigger news story than it currently is.
