As is France 3. You can indeed ignore the very heart of the debate if you want. It won't make it go away.
One obviously political documentary, shown on an obviously politically charged date and it's not about politics somewhere down the line? It might have been revenge for Freedom Fries after a respectable five-year moritorium, it might have been a move for the Muslim vote in Paris or it might have been to unify the racial tensions to a common enemy. Whatever it was, it was most likely political.
One thing is certain, they got the reaction they were looking for. Well done, it worked. Thanks for playing.
