#1 The Canard EnchainÃ© is a satirical weekly indeed (with great cartoons).
But it often reveals hard facts the French government better keeps covered. They have great sources. Whenever government or opposition politicians want to leak embarrassing facts (often to backstab someone) the Canard is the first to know. Its the first thing a French decision maker will do on Wednesday morning: read the Canard (which refuses to go online btw).
You have to read the whole article. But I'd rather say the quotes mentioned here are not satirical.
Of course the Canard can be wrong, too. But it has "killed" more French politicians than anyone else.
