Somehow the Frenchies found out about the secret instructions I receive regularly on my clandestine radio fishing reel - France to Monitor U.S. Media for Untruths:
France, which led opposition to the Iraq war, has instructed its diplomats to monitor U.S. media for signs of an orchestrated campaign of misinformation to discredit it, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.Brian Knowlton elaborates in the IHT - France protests 'plot' by U.S.:
The administration's frustration with France has had a clear, and sometimes troubling, public echo. Web sites, conservative columnists and late-night television hosts have mercilessly mocked the French. A Time magazine cartoon depicts a U.S. invasion of France that puts Humvees on streets and an American flag over the Arc de Triomphe, and installs an "'administrator' who isn't always attuned to local sensitivities" - Ronald McDonald.Poor babies!
