		<description>I found the following article about Sarkozy&#039;s proposal to eliminate advertising from public TV to be interesting:

La suppression de la publicité sur les chaînes publiques en débat
http://www.lemonde.fr/actualite-medias/article/2008/02/02/la-suppression-de-la-publicite-sur-les-chaines-publiques-en-debat_1006711_3236.html

As the title suggests, it is in French and it&#039;s currently only available in the Le Monde archives.  Here are a couple of snippets I captured wile the article was free (with my own translation):

    &quot;Désolé, mais publicité et qualité ne sont pas compatibles&quot;, écrit
    ainsi &quot;Raffin&quot;. &quot;Monsieur Le Lay (l&#039;ancien PDG de TF1) avait été
    clair : pour vendre du Coca-Cola, il faut s&#039;adresser à des
    cerveaux vides. Il faut des émissions les plus racoleuses possible
    et celles qui sollicitent le moins la réflexion du téléspectateur,
    afin que celui-ci soit le plus receptif possible lorsque viendra
    la pub&quot;, écrit-il.

    &quot;Sorry, but commercials and quality are not compatible&quot;, writes
    &quot;Raffin&quot;.  &quot;Mr. Le Lay (ex-CEO of TV France 1) had been clear: to
    sell Coca-Cola, it is necessary to pitch it to empty minds.  It&#039;s
    necessary to have the most eye-catching broadcasts possible and
    those which provoke the least amount of thought in the viewer, so
    that the latter is as receptive as possible when the advertisement
    comes&quot;, he writes.

    Plusieurs internautes soupçonnent aussi les arrière-pensées
    politiques et s&#039;interrogent sur le futur financement de
    l&#039;audiovisuel public. &quot;Lorsque notre président a fait part de sa
    décision unilatérale, il arborait un petit sourire ambigu qui en
    dit assez long, écrit &quot;Maxegor&quot;. J&#039;ai de sérieux doutes sur ses
    buts finaux, c&#039;est-à-dire la survie ou non d&#039;une télévision
    publique vraiment indépendante d&#039;un pouvoir politique ou
    financier.&quot;

    Several Internet users also suspect political ulterior motives and
    wonder about the future financing of public broadcasting.  &quot;When
    our president has announced his unilateral decision, he was hiding
    an ambiguous little smile which spoke volumes&quot;, writes &quot;Maxegor&quot;.
    &quot;I have serious doubts about his final goals, which is to say the
    survival or non-survival of a public television truly independant
    of a political or financial power.&quot;</description>
