 The "Guignols" have generally displayed a left-leaning political outlook (although being tough on whoever is in power).While they generally focused on French politics, they also often riffed off of international events, a key focal point being United States foreign policy in general, including Osama Bin Laden, the Iraq conflict and Saddam Hussein.These spoofs on international events were usually presented in an anti-Bush manner, portraying the fictional "World Company" (see below) as being the true leaders, not the president himself.
