-I disagree with DF. France Info is not a radio station who takes its orders
from government. I heard it often enough attacking the government and
even playing the uninformation game against it. Specially in times of
Juppe or against the ministers of Jospin who took a hard stance against
the Corsican terrorists or against crime.
But France Info is far worse: it is a public radio who has been hijacked by leftist journalists who use it to spread their propaganda at tax payer's expense without any kind of democratic be it direct or indirect towrds the people. Those thieves should be forced to refund the state for the integrality of their salaries since their admission, social contributions included AND pay interest.
As an example of France info in action. A few years ago the Pope visisted France for the "World Days of Youth" in Paris, one of the features
was 100,000 catholics who joined hands forming a circle around Paris.
There was a counterdemonstration organized by Reseau Voltaire, an organization headed by a such Thierry Meylan who owned a porn business and who after 9/11 wrote "L'effroyable imposture". The anti-pope demonstration attracted 80, EIGHTY persons. In any other country (except in San Marino of course :-) a demonstration attracting
eighty persons would have been treated as irrelevant (your average marriage has more guests). But France Info dilligently interviewed one
of the participants, perhaps Thierry Meylan himself thus allowing his ideas to be broacasted to millions of people. And there was no interview
of any one of the one hundred thousand. Prime minister was Balladur, a catholic, so this was not France Info obeying orders of the government. It was mere highjacking of a tax-payer funded radio.
