It's one thing to be anti-american/anti-french and call americans/french stupid/liars/cowards/etc... it's another thing to wish american/french deaths.
Such a thing would never happen on any of the most important tv channels in France, and if it did, it's author would suffer the logical and deserved consequences I mentioned earlier.
And again it's not just an article, it was a speech on tv, and not on an ordinary channel but on Fox News, who's word is taken seriously by a lot of people.
