Those are definitely two separate problems :

On one hand, there is a peering problems between some French ISP and Google and they don't agree on who should pay for the interconnection costs.

On the other hand, some French newspapers are complaining about Google News.

To clarify a bit - essentially Google is its own ISP, they are peering with Tier 1 ISPs directly so this case may well be a peering negotiation gone wrong which would have nothing to do with network neutrality.

However, as the case is, it may be very difficult to distinguish between Google the ISP and Google the content provider, and it seems from the article that this might be the case of people confusing Google the ISP with Google the content provider.

The article contains great confusion about ISP matters and "content" matters, but I don't see how Orange and Google should give a fuck about "content" matter (including the political circus) when they are negotiating peering agreements‎. If they do somehow, they this would be in very bad faith, but there is no sign they have done so in this story.
