First Amendment, French Style

PJ Media » First Amendment, French Style
There was a quick report on the impending U.S. presidential election.

“Yesterday, we followed Barack Obama’s campaign,” a young woman said.
“Today we turn to Mitt Romney’s campaign.”
All right. Except that “following Romney’s campaign” amounted, incredibly, to an interview with a certain Dr. Gordon, who explained that most Americans were grateful to President Obama for having introduced Obamacare.
Especially those women who otherwise would have been deprived of any access to birth control. Some journalist at RTL then explained that Romney would abolish Obamacare.
And the report was over.

Most listeners, I am afraid, just swallowed the story whole and didn’t even understand there was something problematic about it.

The bottom line, indeed, is that almost everybody in France is convinced that Obama is good and Romney is bad.

This explains a lot. Read it all.
