European Tribune - Comments - Thursday Open Thread

Thursday Open Thread | 72 comments (72 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I've got a whole bunch of stuff that I would have posted over the past 2 weeks except I had no laptop. So here we go.

1. The MSM is LOVING the India violence, what with the "excitement" and "draw" of the election being over, and the difference between MSNBC (who I no longer like) and FOX is interesting. How is it playing in Europe?

Re: Now for the fun. (none / 0)

They're all too obsessed with being "live" CNN? BBC World, ITV, France 24 - but often that just involves meaningless shots of people milling around, witnesses saying they didn't know what was happening and experts trying to fill air-time. It's a big story, but not the only thing that's happening in the world. They can always come back to it when there is significant new information.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
