Adrian Hamilton<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abSince Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s arrest on allegations of sexual assault, the French media have been under pressure. They are accused, chiefly by the US press, of cowardly observing a \u00ab\u00a0code of silence\u00a0\u00bb over politicians’ private lives; of either burying or failing to properly investigate the Socialist presidential frontrunner’s long-rumoured predatory nature toward women.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe chasm between the US and French media was clear in a row over images of Strauss-Kahn since his arrest. The IMF head was filmed unshaven and in handcuffs being escorted by New York police before his court appearance. These images were broadcast all over the world except in France, where one of Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers threatened legal action against channels broadcasting them. The CSA, the government’s media watchdog, warned to use \u00ab\u00a0the greatest restraint\u00a0\u00bb in broadcasting them because the French law on presumption of innocence does not allow suspects to be shown in handcuffs.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbFrench state TV has since made limited use of the scenes of Strauss-Kahn in court and is now avoiding the handcuffed shots. Other French channels said it would be absurd not to use them when they were broadcast online and across the world.<\/em> […]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbUS media have criticised the French for showing more compassion for Strauss-Kahn than for the alleged rape victim, whose identity some French newspapers have published. The feminist French lawyer Gis\u00e8le Halimi, praised the US justice system, which she said protected women’s dignity. I am convinced that if this affair had taken place in France, we would never have heard anything about it, she told Le Parisien.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
