Tired of playing second fiddle to the U.S. and great Britain, the French are fighting back with their own 24-hour cable news channel. Scheduled to launch in December, “France 24″ is an attempt to counter the “Anglo-Saxon” bias of the BBC and CNN. Apparently Fox News, which enjoys a larger audience than CNN in the U.S., is a little too Anglo-Saxon for the French to even acknowledge its existence.
The purpose of the new venture, according to CEO Alain de Pouzilhac, is to counter the nearly intolerable Anglo-Saxon-ish funk of the BBC and CNN with “French values.” Considering that the BBC and CNN regularly disparage their own respective countries while falling all over themselves in a head-long rush to kiss up to middle-eastern “freedom fighters,” one has to wonder what exactly are the “French values” de Pouzilhac has in mind. After all, the traditional French values of cowardice, arrogance, and collaboration with the enemy are all in abundance at the BBC and CNN.
Well…it was only a matter of time the Muslim controlled country of France would put up it’s own major television network. What better way to brainwash a new generation of terror supporters and appeasers.
