I think you've got the terminology backwards, but yeah, these articles are both terrible. (NPOV is good, POV is bad!)
"Anti-French sentiment in the United States" is a somewhat balanced article, but is it _encyclopedic_? At the very least, it needs a better title, one more closely matching the contents, which are strongly linked to current events.
I think there is a valid topic lurking here, but to be encyclopedic, I think we need to place the current state of French-American relations into the context of history. America and France have had a love-hate relationship for a very long time, and the cultural friction between us is not simply the product of current events.
