What I meant is not their past coverage of the local elections, but that in this article, they frame the leadership contest as a disaster in a party still under the shock of Ségo's defeat to Sarko, without even mentioning the PS's victories in the more recent local elections. Exactly like the Torygraph (or was it the Times?) article quoted in a Salon a week ago or so.
