#1 I think it is amazing that French TV would take this to court. Even if they win the case through a miscarriage of justice, the discussion and publicity surrounding the case is so harmful to France 2 that you wonder why they wanted to call attention to themselves in this manner.

#3 wow. Amazing isn't it. And all this time we thought we had a free press what we really had was a press that was bought and paid for by rich, anti-western manipulators. It's shocking to see just how badly we have been deceived.

#5 Just another illustration of the leftist MSM's axiom:

"It's true, because we say it's true."

#6 The trial is being blogged by one of the expert witnesses for the other side. (I think it was anonymous5089 who provided the link the other day.) He seemed comfortable that the judge was not on the side of the network, whose lawyer was apparently doing a terrible job.

#7 Ms. Tw, yes; the blogger is the scholar evoked in the article, Richard Landes, and his blog is the Augean Stables, with many interesting textes in addition to the al durah libel coverage.
