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." ....
She'd cause heart palpitations and be a boon to the EMT industry here!
The language, spoken by a woman in particular, is very sexy. Just ignore her surrender monkey genealogy. Listen to her talk to you and just imagine she's calling you sexy pet names.
From my experience the french ladies do like American cowboys. Nothing turns euro women on like alpha males which is in short supply over there. ;)
Sounds like something they'd force people to watch in Hell...
It doesn't say if it is to be privately or publically funded. If it's public, it'll be just as biased, and skewed as the BBC. If it's private, best of luck to them in the marketplace of ideas. :) lol
btw, in a marketplace, liberalism seems to alwasy fail. :)
Re your post 30, my goodness gracious but that is one good-looking woman. I don't have cable but I would just be pleased to cut off the sound and gawk!
"Would anyone care to point out a French value?"
White cloth, 50 cents a square meter.
Tree branch, free.
Cheese eating surrender monkey TV...
PRICELESS.
During my high school years I spent summers in France as my parents moved there. I spent a lot of time at the public pool playing chicken with the local guys, usually all of them against me (and I still never lost!). Those cute, warm girls did indeed like that stuff (as did I!).
I'm in love.........
Good catch!
She is a hottie - too bad she'll be wearing the burka/hijab soon. French values are well on their way to becoming Muzzie values...
You are right, though. The French are spiraling downward. Too bad.
