The blood sucking fiends at Fox are going to have violent fits over this one. Their hatred for France over there is unremitting. O'reilly may soon have a new target to add to his black list.
Ruling news networks now have a new rival
quote:
France today announced the birth of a new international television news network half owned by the state that aims to rival the BBC and CNN when it starts broadcasting next year.
President Jacques Chirac, addressing his cabinet, said that France "must be at the forefront of the global battle of images, that's why I am resolved that our country should have an international news channel," according to government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope.
quote:
France Televisions will be in the driving chair of the entity, whose 240 staff will produce programmes beamed to Europe, Africa and the Middle East at first, then later also to Asia, Latin America and North America.
quote:
Chirac stated that "the goal is to show everywhere in the world the values of France and its vision of the world," according to Cope, and promised that it would have the public financing "commensurate with its ambition.
