Explosions and shootings in Paris

[TLSnell1981]

That's a mighty wide brush you're holding.

For instance, I was in Europe after Benghazi. No one was blaming a video, plus other interesting info was provided.

Let me also add that France has an English news source: www.France24.com

And I know this will be controversial (even though it should NOT be), but Al Jazeera English has some of the best world-wide coverage you will find anywhere. Absolutely first class reporting.

I utilize these sources as well.

I think part of the issue some have in evaluating media sources is that they forget news channels have news shows and they have opinion shows. It's important to consider that in the equation.

The train derailment was just a high speed test without regular passengers. No foul play is suspected.

SKY NEWS reporting heavily armed police at a hotel near the Eiffel Tower

Maybe I'm wrong at what your saying but, I don't remember the News Stations blaming a video, some are guilty of not confronting those who were trying to blame a video at that time.

SKY NEWS reporting that Greek Government confirming that one of the attackers in Paris is thought to be a Syrian refugee who passed through Greece in October and had his passport checked and recorded in Greece.

I believe they are now reporting that TWO of the terrorists may have entered Europe this way. SMH.

Surely nobody is shocked at this.

Surely nobody is shocked at this.

When the Syrian refugee thread was active a while back, anyone who expressed concern that terrorists might enter this way were scoffed at and worse. So if people were being truthful at that point, then yes, they are surprised at what has happened.

Then I guess they would be.

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned 99% of them being just fine. The problem is that 1% can sure do an awful lot of harm.

You were much nicer than the post I wrote and deleted before posting. This is EXACTLY what these people want...sow enough fear that our civil liberties get trampled.

Well, there's that, but mainly they just want to kill.

Who reports the news anymore...without bias?

Probably nobody. Some are worse than others.

But I still think the shows that get most people bent out of shape about are opinion and commentary shows, not even "news" to begin with.

I agree. They don't care about politics and liberties and religion as much as the average world citizen thinks they do. Their best recruits are teenagers angry at their parents or about their social, financial and occupation circumstances. They are promised money, women and martyrdom. Only their leaders care about politics. The rank-and-file of any terrorist organization (including the ones we have in the US) just want mayhem.
