Olivier, why are you signaling this exacly?

I remember The Economist doing exactly this kind of thing a long time ago. A skinhead, as I remember, who, according to the editing was either agressor or saviour. My reaction is ‘so what?’. It’s an ad.

It is, indeed, nothing more than a commercial, and I did not post a link to it for political reasons, nor because I think the clip is “information” in itself.
What got my attention in the clip was the message that the medias can’t be trusted, and that this attitude has become so prevalent that a TV channel runs an ad campaign on this.
Would we see the same ad in the USA I doubt it. Would we see the same type of ad with a couple of kids chased by the cops into a French powerplant, or soldiers in a country that looks like Ivory coast instead of Irak, would be too risky for Canal to run.
Maybe I am just reading too much into this…
