Philippe Séguin is dead

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Amusing to see how one of the only actual Gaullist has been loved by everyone, because all the homages, from every sides seem to be very sincere. Haven't heard about FN though.

Yay, France remains that Gaullist state overall.

Also, the fact he never had a lot of power might have played a role too.

Haven't heard about FN though.

I heard that Marine said something like "look at how he was right about EVIL MAASTRICHT TREATY AND EVIL EUROPE !!!1!1!".

Haha, even FN defends him!

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Hahaha, François Hollande...

The guy is just permanently tunned on 2012, he won't bury himself there. A shooting attempt from Le Figaro? Maybe the poorest redaction for French politics of the big 3 (Le Monde, Libération, Le Figaro), at least from what I can hear of Thréard and Trégaro, since I rarely read it, even on the net.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I much prefer Le Figaro's section on politics in that they report stuff on elections, party electoral strategy and so forth. Le Monde focuses solely on stupid day-to-day crap, and their electoral coverage has been in a rapid decline.

That being said, the French media is awful and there are very few real journalists in France (though Ottawa has even less).

Yes, globally I'm fed up with a lot too, seems there remains a few lights though, but not that much, anyways that's a long time I no more read a lot of it, so I may miss things, but when I see guys like Thréard or Trégaro in Le Figaro, just damn. And still about Le Figaro, I can't judge them on the factual part they can provide I was merely speaking of the analysis/edito/hacking parts.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I rarely read any editorials on any newspapers, even less their so-called 'political analysis' since it's so full of crap that I have better things to waste my time on.

As for me, it's just that editorialists, and those of papers too, became trendy in other media, like radio and TV.
