The culprit-Why did the French media not want to publish this picture?

"L'homme, qui apparait sur les bandes des caméras de vidéosurveillance du métro, est activement recherché. Mais son visage n'apparaît quasiment jamais de face et il est très difficile à distinguer."
-Le Parisian
("The man who appears on the videos from the Metro surveillance cameras is actively being sought. But his face is hardly visible and is very difficult to distinguish.")
Indeed.
If you think our media is bad when it comes to dealing with incidents like Tucson, give a glimpse of how the mainstream French media and government treat a robbery-killing in a Paris Metro. (Hat tip to Gallia Watch)

Could it actually be true that the Paris media did not want to publish a photo of the culprit because he was of a certain origin? Does it really take a French blogger to reveal the truth and help the authorities break the case?
And how about the statement from the Minister of Interior Brice Hortefeux? The cause?
"The Smartphone Effect".
Monsieur Hortefeux, meet Sheriff Dupnik.
Update (January 10, 2011) Thanks at least in part to the photos produced by a French blog, the suspect has been arrested. He was turned in by his girlfriend (Name not yet available).

What an outrageous ...sad ... story! Only Oriana Fallaci could have written this story as it should have been reported.
Thanks for catching it... stories like this can't simply be isolated incidents. Too much has to build up for all these cover-up mechanisms to be in place. It is as though they have experience with it already.
Europe looks like it has lost itself.

Anonymous,
Well, you sound like a nice young man. I am not rambling about anything. The fact that one was a robbery-murder and the other was an attempted murder of a political figure and killing of by-standers is not really relevent although in both cases, innocent bystanders were killed.
The point is that both the French and American media let their political agenda get in the way of their reporting. If you can't see the connection-then you'd do well to rename anonymous.
Dope.
He looks French to me. What do you see?
Siarlys,
Yes! I think it was Charles de Gaulle.
I don't get this whole story. Oriana Fallaci died in 2006, so how does she fit in here?
My grandson is half Persian half German and looks almost Arabic. He is a true American, born on the 4.July. What are you and Miggie rambling about?
Ingrid,
Not rambling at all. I made my point in the orginal post.
Point? What point?
Siarlys,
Here is the point.
