Que pensent les diplomates des Etats-Unis à propos des journalistes français ?

Wikileaks a révélé ce que les diplomates des Etats-Unis pensent des journalistes français :

"Les grand journalistes français sont souvent issus des mêmes écoles d’élite que de nombreux responsables gouvernementaux. Ces journalistes ne considèrent pas nécessairement que leur rôle premier soit de surveiller le pouvoir exécutif. Nombre d’entre eux se voient plutôt davantage comme des intellectuels, ils préfèrent analyser les événements et influencer leurs lecteurs plutôt que de rapporter les événements."

Texte original en anglais :

Top French journalists are often products of the same elite schools as many French government leaders. These journalists do not necessarily regard their primary role as to check the power of government. Rather, many see themselves more as intellectuals, preferring to analyze events and influence readers more than to report events.

Chose étonnante : les grands médias français n’ont pas parlé de ce que les diplomates des Etats-Unis pensent des journalistes français.

C’est vachement étonnant.

    France heads industrial espionage : WikiLeaks cables

    January 04, 2011 11:10PM

    FRANCE is the country that conducts the most industrial espionage on other European countries, even ahead of China and Russia, said leaked US diplomatic cables quoted today by Norway’s Aftenposten.

    "French espionage is so widespread that the damages (it causes) the German economy are larger as a whole than those caused by China or Russia," an undated note from the US embassy in Berlin said, according to a Norwegian translation by Aftenposten.

    The Norwegian daily of reference said last month it had obtained all the 250,000 US diplomatic cables WikiLeaks had accessed and would publish stories based on them independently of the whistleblowing website’s own releases.

    Its article based on leaked cables included an October 2009 comment from Berry Smutny, the head of German satellite company OHB Technology, quoted in the diplomatic note.

    "France is the Empire of Evil in terms of technology theft, and Germany knows it," a Norwegian translation of Smutny’s comment in the cable read.

    OHB Technology became known to the general public in January 2010 when it obtained a contract for the construction of several satellites for the Galileo satellite navigation system, a much-delayed European challenger to the American-developed Global Positioning System (GPS).

    The small German firm won the bid for the contract over Astrium, a subsidiary of pan-European giant EADS.

    A leaked US cable posted yesterday by Aftenposten described Franco-German competition in terms of spy satellite development.

    The cable said Germany was developing, with the help of the US, its own High Resolution Optical Satellite System (HiROS), despite the objections of France, which is leading pan-European efforts in the field with its Helios satellites.
