#1 They should air that 45 min tape of French troops shooting innocent Christians in the Ivory Coast. Seems they liked the Muslim side more.

#2 As a matter of fact, canal+ and its "investigative" show (which presses all the buttons of its intender viewers, the neocons takeover of foreign policy, Ahnold-the-nazi, the dreaded evangelists, the dangers of unregulated freemarkets, etc, etc...) "Lundi investigation" was to show a reportage about the attack of the french base in abidjian, with a french helicopter supposedly firing with its autocannon in the crowd of the attackers.

These in-your-face Rebels chickened out, under pressure from the gvt, and bravely didn't show it... which is a good thing, because the whole story was apparently quite biased against the french army (C+ is very much anti-police, anti-army, anti anything that looks like France).

So, if they had the stones to air the video you refer to, they would, it's not they wouldn't want to do it to protect France's image.

So these media types can be intimidated by nation states.

YO! DID THE CIA HEAR THAT?
