PARIS MATCH MAKES THE DIFFERENCE AS SARKOZY CONTROLS THE FRENCH MEDIA

In my way back to New York, I spent a few hours in Paris.

I went to the newsstands and Sarkozy dominates the front pages of newspapers and magazines.

From Le Figaro to Liberation.

From L´Express to Le Nouvel Observateur.

From Le Journal du Dimanche to Le Point.

Sarkozy controls the news in France.

Only Paris Match had a different cover story wit Zidane and Noah.
The same in radio.

The same in TV.

The same on Internet.

And this is only the beginning of the presidential campaign.

100 days ahead of the first vote.

My feeling is that the French media needs a lot of self control.

Readers can not, and will not, buy this overdose of politics, politics, politics.

Wait until we have circulation figures, and you will see the results of such a political coverage.
