Oh how very ironical

By way of the one and only Carine: the French government planned sour-faced ‘countermeasure’ to CNN, BBC, Fox, CBC, ITN and a raft of other international news providers will end up broadcasting mainly in English.
In an attempt to be a ‘counterweight’ to everything in civilization, they end up pouring billions into one 2nd rate mimicry when it’s too late. If government wasn’t in the business of trying to run businesses, they might find themselves at the high end of the curve, and not the long tail.
