Hi,

Probably not a bad deal for google, since AFP

is more or less the only independant news channel

remaining in France, nowadays...

Most of the rest belongs to Lagardere, Dassault, Pinault

and Arnault, who takes news off AFP, filters it from

boss personnal interest, and broadcast to the masses.
