Charity in France Is Accused of Being a Front for Financing Terrorism in Syria - NYTimes.com

So unfortunate.

Revue de presse du 05/12 - Actu - Télématin - France 2

What's interesting to me about this program is the fundamental reliance on news organizations, primarily printed publications of all sorts, for the material - with full credit. I wonder if this happens generally in the Mediterranean. (It happens in only very limited mentions in the US on morning television - Morning Joe on MSNBC is one of the rare examples, but they give major stories only passing mention compared with the Telematin presentation in a kind of narrative of each.)

Deux "iTunes de l'info" débarquent en France - L'Express
