Better say, to remain politically correct, "this was already quoted earlier on". "Near the top of the thread" suggests that your quote is more important than mine, if I were very touchy, that is.<s> Just joking.
You will not have missed that the two extracts I picked up are the same as some of yours. I think it is better to stick to small extracts, we already get a lot of press news from the press review.
Very interesting to convey Le Canard Enchaîné info, which cannot be quoted in literal form. That is very valuable, thank you.  

When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill
