Re: The French are no better... (none / 0)

mais oui. Je lisais Le Monde et Marianne à chacune de leurs parutions mais j'ai commencé à douter de leur appartenance à la gauche pendant les guerres d'Irak et d'Afghanistan. Et surtout que l'ancien ambassadeur d'Israel écrit régulièrement pour Marianne - pas trop biasé, non?

comment dit-on "droit d'ingérence" en anglais?

Le Nouvel Ob et Libé ne sont guère meilleurs.

voilà!

OK fair enough (4.00 / 3)

I never considered that Marianne was on the left... Le Monde ceased to be so, progressivement, over the past couple of decades. Liberation is hardly any better, and fairly lightweight on foreign policy, so barely worth reading.

I have no problem with the Israeli ambassador having a regular column in a publication -- journalisme d'opinion is great, everything is transparent.
What I object to is having his opinions relayed by a supposedly objective journalist.

Marianne is supposed to reflect the Republican ideals of France - liberté, égalité, fraternité

it does a pretty good job, except with regards to Israel
