Example please?? Apart from right and left wing extremist tablids,

you'll
find NO front page as outragous as some US papers were during the
french-bashing period.


Do you even *read* your own papers?



Don't worry for me, I read them!
But I'm still waiting for even the slightest example of french front page
articles crying out that "America is Evil", or that "America is the ennemy",
or some other dumb thing. No article tried being smart by listing american
military blunders, or by listing French products on the US market and
calling for their boycott. No TV footage showed bottles of Coke being
emptied in the gutter, and those showing a McDonalds being torn down refer
to the legal decision that condemned the man who did it (José Bové if you
want to look it up).
No TV hosts appeared on screen with a "I F*CK USA" on them. Apart from a
few satirical shows, no one on TV spent hours telling old/inaccurate/easy
French jokes.
No articles in our equivalents of the Washington Post or others were
insulting, spreading hatred.

Now the question is do you read *yours* because you sure need a lot of guts
to say that there was "yankee bashing" in France.
