I remember my father telling me that New York saw some vicious race riots in Haarlem in the 1940s that all the major papers just declined to cover. If you didn't know anybody in Haarlem and you weren't plugged into the black community, you never saw anything about it. Sounds like a similar situation in France.

It a very large way, not even taking pictures of the breaking events, is scary, JDN. But it probably shows once again, why so many people didn't know about the terrible things that Saddam and "the boys" were doing.... It certainly shows why CNN and Eason Jordon did such wrong, by "ignoring" the story in Iraq, (and most probably other places in the world as well) ....in the meantime, hundreds of thousands of people were killed by terrible dictators. If one doesn't hear the tree fall in the forest, did it really fall? Your friend seems to say it didn't fall. But most us saw that it did.
