France's TV channel TF1 has specialied in the art of setting workers against
workers. One excellent example: the one o'clock bulletin on 4th December
1995, presented by... Jean-Claude Pernaud. The first report dealt with the
inconveniences faced by the small traders in Marseilles and Lyon because of
the strike. Orders didn't arrive and neither did the customers. Bastard
strikers! The second report dealt with parisian travellers forced to use the
D system. 'We've been taken hostage' stated the specially chosen
interviewees. Bastard strikers! The third and fourth report were about the
private bus lines set up in Melun (parisian reegion) and the desert of
improvised stations of the private boat companies all along the Seine (1).
Thank you kind government, glory to the strike breakers! The fifth report
was about the problems caused for workers in the private sector because
of... not the bosses but the strike. There was a spectacular intro from the
spokesman Pernaud, 'several hundreds of thousands of workers in the private
sector are the onlt ones to pay the costs of the strike'. The sixth report
asked the question: 'Are government employees privileged?' This report is a
must for an example of media manipulation. These bastard employees have
enjoyed improved work conditions (2), so it is to be expected that they
should slave away andd club together for longer. In addition they have slave
status security and their survival rate is indexed to the rate of inflation.
What are they complaining about? The seventh report was about the ability of
the PME (elderly??) to survive the strike. Bastard strikers! The eighth
report brought together the complaints of post office users in Toulouse
because of the strike. And these bungling idiotic postal unionists have the
nerve to criticise the illegal postal centres which have been set up by the
post office management which is employing workers who have no security.
Bastard strikers! Finally the ninth and last report looked at a non-striking
university - ah! finally real students who work and don't complain - as it
happens Paris-Dauphine. It's now 1.27 pm, the news is over and we go on to
the weather forecast. Bastard journalists!

(1) We should remember that the boat company concerned is one of the main
financial supporters of the National Front.
(2) In fact the miners no longer go down the mines - they are unemployed.
Railworkers no longer get cancer at the age of 35 because of steam engines.
Postal workers have cars and no more bicycle accidents. The personel at the
electricity board no longer risk electrocution but rather radioactivity...
what technical progress!
