Two quick picks

As you may know, France2 has been in French court defending its early judgment against a suit accusing it of promoting the false al-Dura video. Things are not going well for France2, though, as Media Backspin explains. (H/t Soccer Dad.)

Cranky Brit Pat Condell launches a pretty damn accurate attack against Islamists and White Supremacists, sullied only by a brief, gratuitous swipe against Catholics. Ignore that lapse into atheistic self-righteousness, and you’ve got a solid description of Islamist goals and methods, spineless governments, and horrible fellow travelers, all in one neat, 7 1/2 minute package.

UPDATE:  Thanks to Soccer Dad for correcting my erroneous take on the French case’s procedural posture — a mistake I should have known better than to make, but fell into because American courts don’t take evidence on appeal
