FRENCH BOOK RIDICULES FRANCE’S BIGGEST TV BROADCASTER

January 15th 2008 11:01


The Times in the UK reports that the heads of France's biggest television network are trying to unmask five staff who have written an anonymous book that depicts their news operation as subservient to President Nicolas Sarkozy and demolishes its megastar presenter as a lazy, tyrannical prima donna.
Madame, Monsieur, Bonsoir has become a bestseller and made a laughing stock of the news operation at TF1, the commercial channel that dominates French broadcasting.
The Times said the biggest victim of the hatchet job is Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, 60, the star presenter whose 8pm evening broadcast is a national institution and the chief source of news for millions of French.

PPDA, as he is known to the nation, rules his 100-strong editorial team like a dictator, but routinely arrives up to an hour late for morning conferences, write the five, who use a collective pen name Patrick Le Bel. "
