French CNN

Did you hear about this? I thought they already had one, in America! From NewsMax:

The French government has given the green light for an international TV news channel to start broadcasting in French by the end of next year, with the aim of spreading the country's vision to the world.
According to Reuters, the 24-hour news channel is expected to beam into homes, hotels and newsrooms in much the same way as U.S.-owned CNN, Britain's BBC World and more recently Qatar's Arabic-language al-Jazeera.


"The aim is to bring France's values and its vision of the world to everywhere in the world" ( a spokesman quoted Chirac as telling the cabinet,)

Isn't that what CNN has been doing since it started?
