Skewing The French (S)election "News"

Pro-American Nicholas Sarkozy Wins French Election

In France, voters have elected the right-wing, pro-American Nicolas Sarkozy to be the country's new president. By a 53 to 47 percent margin Sarkozy beat the socialist candidate Segolene Royale. In his victory speech Sarkozy assured Americans of France's "friendship." Within hours of the election results being announced, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to protest. In central Paris police fired tear gas and water cannons at demonstrators. Over 100 cars were set on fire in the suburbs of Paris. Protests were also held in Bordeaux, Marseille, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse and Lyon.

My email to Democracy Now:

By what stretch of the rational imagination is Sarkozy "Pro-American"?

He is certainly Pro Corporate America.

He is certainly Pro Multinational Oil Cartel.

He is certainly Pro Unites States Government--As distinguished from being in favor of the best interests of the American People.

Are you smoking some of Humboldt County California's # 1 cash crop? Or working for the Bu$h Regime?
