Yes, I was always wondering which is more advantageous for citizens, to show suicidal bombers/shooters attacks that happen(ed) in France on public news channels, of not show them as they definitely were acts of violence. The second will keep French people delusional about safety and sources of danger in France. But may be advantageous for the government which can keep pursuing its policies without results of policies (such violent attacks) questioned by public. After having said that I have a feeling that the discussion slipped into politics on this technical list... maybe we should bring things back to pure technical questions?
