| New ad for limousine-liberal french channel "canal +" alleges US war crimes in iraq |
| 2006-11-04 |
| Text of the ad is : "Look carefully at those images" ... "Those same images can tell a different story" ... "Yet an another reason to keep his eyes open". and the comment sez, in the botched, SMS style, MTV-illiterate french our youths use after going through public education :"lol, even Tf1 (NB : rival, "conservative" channel) airs it, 'coz they know we're against the war". |

| #3 Interesting... So these media types can be intimidated by nation states. YO! DID THE CIA HEAR THAT? |

| #2 As a matter of fact, canal+ and its "investigative" show (which presses all the buttons of its intender viewers, the neocons takeover of foreign policy, Ahnold-the-nazi, the dreaded evangelists, the dangers of unregulated freemarkets, etc, etc...) "Lundi investigation" was to show a reportage about the attack of the french base in abidjian, with a french helicopter supposedly firing with its autocannon in the crowd of the attackers. These in-your-face Rebels chickened out, under pressure from the gvt, and bravely didn't show it... which is a good thing, because the whole story was apparently quite biased against the french army (C+ is very much anti-police, anti-army, anti anything that looks like France). So, if they had the stones to air the video you refer to, they would, it's not they wouldn't want to do it to protect France's image. |

| #1 They should air that 45 min tape of French troops shooting innocent Christians in the Ivory Coast. Seems they liked the Muslim side more. |
