I used to watch Cabu (one of the victim) on a children program when I was a child (he would draw funny sketch of the host, live during the show) I was chocked by his death. I suppose it's like if an American learned that Dr Seuss was shoot by a madman. It seems unfair and stupid.
But all the media narrative about Charlie Hebdo is pretty ugly. It's bad propaganda, and France seems to try to do, what The bush administration did with Nine Eleven.
And basically Charlie is NOT journalism. It's funny drawing and humor. And sometime not so much funny cartoon.
