French news channel to challenge 'Anglo-Saxon' CNN, BBC

A round-the-clock international news channel France is to launch in December will challenge the "Anglo-Saxon" views spread by market leaders BBC and CNN by relying on "French values", the network's chief said.

France 24, as the network is called, will start broadcasting in English and French on the Internet on December 6 and then via satellite two days later, its chairman and chief executive, Alain de Pouzilhac, told Le Figaro newspaper.

Like its British and US rivals, it is homing in on "opinion leaders" around the world by dishing up a diet of news, features and discussion.

But those viewers, Pouzilhac claimed, have become increasingly "sceptical of the world vision offered by the Anglo-Saxons like BBC World and CNN International."

Instead, he asserted, they "are looking for contradictory opinions -- which is what France 24 is proposing by relying on French values." ....

They are going to project Gaul views around the world? Like appeasement, surrender, snotty Eurotrash anti-Americanism, and an appreciation of decadence, socialistic dependence and stinky cheese?

Wow, I sense a real powerhouse here..../sarcasm.

Yes the French have values.

You can smell them a mile away when on vacation down in the tropics.

Thats why the French invented perfume.

French values? What; Wine, Women, and Song? or Whine, Whimper, and Surrender?

Wow! Where do I tune in to see HER read the news?

(She's enough to get me to watch broadcast news again!)

...they "are looking for contradictory opinions ..."

hhmm..at least they admit that their "news" is an "opinion" and not needed to be factual or reasonable, but agenda driven.

They also choose to "contradict" other news stories. Assuming the other BBC, CNN news stories are truthful then the contradiction would be deceitful and lies.

This is a blatant propaganda network needed to delude hide their people from the the fact that the world is witnesing their decline into a pan-Arabic, pan-African Muslim slum state.

The government cannot stand the news broadcast to their citizens about France.

The truth is leading to armed revolution and civil war (which has already begun).

Props for the Gauls reference...

You'd think that with all the political correctness in France, they'd have enough sense not to engage in this kind of ethnically derogatory discourse.

What the hell is an anglo-saxon view?

They should have hired her instead of Perky Katie. No one listens to what either of them says.
