International news vs. international news

Our news services have finally noticed the unrest in France. Riots in the Paris suburbs make the news. Well then I spend some time on my favorite cable channel -- the French station. It's not just Paris. It's Toulouse, it's Bordeau, it's five or six other cities. There's some major anger going on over there. These first generation French kids who are finding their lives not much better (or ok, worse) than their immigrant parents. But it won't be making our news as long as we need to keep worrying about that girl in Aruba, whatever her name is, who, apparently, is still dead and unfound down there. No offense to her family and parents, but come on. This is what passes for news anymore? Nah, not starting down that road. The pitiful state of American news media will wait for another day's rant.
