Although riots slightly damaged Notre Dame Cathedral in the 16th century and the infamous French Revolution inflicted a little damage in the 18th, this fire was the worst damage the beautiful cathedral has ever sustained. In reporting on the Notre Dame fire, the news media ignored the many thousands of attacks, desecrations and vandalizations of European churches every year. Yes, thousands! And almost all perpetrated by Middle Eastern or North African immigrants or their children. There was even an attempt to blow up Notre Dame with a car bomb in 2016. The convicted Islamic terrorist, Inez Madani, was sentenced to eight years in jail just 72 hours before the Notre Dame fire broke out. There was another big fire right in front of Notre Dame on June 17th, 1242. People burned about 25 wagon loads of irreplaceable Hebrew manuscripts. That fire burned for two days.

Also, Airbus is almost a part of European government, yet Boeing isn’t a part of American government? We explore reasons for the price of Boeing stock, and they include bribery and corruption. Try bribery and corruption using the Baltimore city government model. Finally, why do news media lean so far to the left, and why does journalism breed envy and resentment? Enjoy!
