I did an interview with France 2 today, to tell the saga of LGF and our involvement in Rathergate. It was a friendly session for the most part. The subject of the occasional anti-French remarks that appear in our comments was brought up, and I pointed out that French media had more than a little anti-Americanism as well. (There’s even a magazine called “The Anti-American.”)

At the end, I asked Florent (the interviewer) about the Muhammad al-Dura controversy, in which France 2 is alleged to have deliberately helped promote Palestinian propaganda; at first, he seemed not to know what I was talking about, but then the cameraman chimed in and said, “Oh yes, the Israeli envoy has admitted there is no controversy, it’s all over.” All over! Everyone relax now. No problem. Everything’s patched up.

The show in which the interview will appear is Envoyé Spécial.
