Hate Marine, Hate Trump – France24’s ‘World,’ Devoid Of Fair Play!
Yesterday was a gorgeous feast of sunshine here in Jakarta, ideal for a recovering party-animal to read a paper-back out front, a brief break to wander to the warteg for brunch, where I enjoyed some telur dadan jagung, corn mixed with eggs and fried to perfection…

…good cheap local food, though balanced ( ! ) by quite similar home-made Brit-Nosh (egg n chips!) for my second meal early evening.
But while I’m sure I’ll have another yummy sunny day – dazzling outdoors when I rose around 8am- the diet of hate on France 24 is infinitely less digestible!
They call it ‘The World This Weekend’ but it is a weird world in which these creatures live, in which patriotic, conservative or nationalist views are abhorred, no voice of dissent audible thanks to their stalinoid panel selection process.

When they stage an election debate, they’re obliged to include one freedom-fighter representative from Marine’s campaign, but even that token obeisance to the principles of impartiality suffers instant defenestration when they choose their TWTW line-up – ‘our panel of Paris-based journalists…’
Inevitably, we had that bigoted old Trumpophobe, Christopher Dickey, from France24’s Daily Beast ‘media partner!’
Then there was a local leftist, Paul Moreira, whose snarling anti-Marine in-put…

Moreira
…was matched by some Indian bint named Leela Jacinto, identified as a ‘France24 reporter,’ ranting about ‘dangerous demagogues‘ – who was also quick to jump onto Dickey’s anti-Trump band-wagon.

On the President’s recent comments that he missed the relative privacy he enjoyed in his previous life, Jacinto hissed that she wished Donald was back in his previous life – ‘we’d all be a lot better off. ‘
ALL?
Hardly! She must have meant all the pukey pinkos in her employer’s tv studio.

Yes, they were out to get not just La Belle Marine but Trump too, with Christopher The Beast spitting noisome gems of animosity, e.g. ‘it’s hard to tell if Trump is a madman or just acts like one.’

Anything you say about France24 can be said about the BBC. Your own coverage of their propaganda show Dateline has been excellent and I liked the way you caught that Gavin Esler in the lie, that it wasn’t their fault that their panels were unanimously anti-trump, it was just because they couldn’t be bothered to find pro-Trump people.
As if anyone believes that.
I watched it today and it was just as bad as ever, the two American leftwings, Kaufman and Temko sneering and slurring Trump. And an Idian who said it was Trump ‘being provocative’ for standing up to the North Korea nuke threat.
The whole idea of state-owned media is out-of-date, if it was ever a defendable idea,at all.
With all the private media we have to choose from, thanks to cable tv and the internet, why should we tax-payers have to pay for tv channels unless we want to.
BBC is the one I know most about, because it’s the one I have to pay for, but I sympathise with other people in other countries, who have the same burden.
I was delighted that the Poles are trying to do something,
