    Isn't the message all wrong too?

    France called out out our name, and no one came running. We weren't there.

    Eric Holder was on his way to the airport, and no one else considered going.

    The head of our NATO ally Turkey rips the West and France in particular.

    He also ripped the participation of Netanyahu in the Paris march.

    "The West's hypocrisy is obvious. As Muslims, we've never taken part in terrorist massacres. Behind these lie racism, hate speech and Islamophobia," Erdogan said. "Please, the administrations in those countries where our mosques are attacked need to take measures.

    "Games are being played with the Islamic world, we need to be aware of this," said Erdogan, who traces his political roots to a banned Islamist movement.

    Mosques in France, Germany and Sweden have been vandalized before and since the attacks in what Turkey and others see as a growing tide of anti-Muslim sentiment across the continent.

    Erdogan also suggested the attacks that killed 17 people were a failing of the French security forces since the suspects had recently served prison sentences.

    "French citizens carry out such a massacre, and Muslims pay the price. That's very meaningful ... Doesn't their intelligence organization track those who leave prison?"

    Sky News interviews Charlie Hebdo contributor Caroline Fourest, and as she lectures the media for not supporting Charie, and for not showing the current cover, she holds it up to the camera.

    Sky News quickly bails from the interview, and apologizes to its viewers:

    How have the conservative publications and television news channels handled this predicament? I'm honestly curious.

    I remember boning one of my girlfriends while a James Taylor album played. Probably Greatest Hits.

    He's so personally awkward, it's hard to believe he's in charge of our diplomacy:

    If you were 'honestly curious" you would look to have more balance in your information sources and know the answer yourself ;):D
