FROMAGES, POLITICIANS AND THE FRENCH DISEASE

Files under General | Feb 11th

The French press is very predictable.

French journalists have a very easy job.

French newspapers, too.

Just cover politicians.

In a politically correct way…

And go home to rest.

The problem is that readers don’t care.

Look at this front page from Le Figaro with the usual suspects.

And see the promo in the top left corner.

Chirac on the front page of the TV magazine.

Not once, but two times on the same front page, on the same day!

Anyway, they also offer a very unique book… about fromages.

Yes, fromages… telling the French about fromages!

Well, fom Le Figaro to Le Monde, from Matín Plus to Liberation…

The front pages are always the same.

With the same people.

The same faces.

Of the same politicians.

Sarzkozy.

Royal.

Chirac.

They control the newspaper agendas.

And they are happy to be controlled.

Nobody makes a mistake.

All do the same.

Vive la diference!
