#2 We don't want to let ourselves be dictated to by the outside

Elitist media pricks. Die in a fire.

#3 A few notes about "Le Monde"'s founder Hubert Beuve Méry: durig the War he told France's eleites hould preserve themselves in order to be available for reconstruction. Translation: The serfs will do the dying and at the end of war they elite will emerge for the sharing of the spoils.

Also before D-DAY with Geman boots still soiling French soil his obesssion was how to presve France from contamination of American ideas.

(Note for a5089: Both quotes are from the "Histoire du Vercors résistant"

The third note about Le Monde is that in 2002 they made a secret blank vote betweeen journalists and about fifty percent of them voted for the trotskist (ie left of communists) candidate. Let's remember that trotskists ever thought of inforamlation as weapon and not as a way to enlighten people's decisions.

#4 who cares? It's all just a scramble for the lifeboats now. It's all agenda driven crap, written by people whom everyone believes to be drunks, misfits, dropouts and lowlifes (as written in that other rantburg article today) and few take seriously anymore.

#5 Le Monde is dhimmi central in Euromedia. Their journalists aren't trusted; Le Figaro delivers news with a commitment to reporting the truth. Victor Hugo would hardly like modern France, although he would support the Sarkozy regime. Good riddance.

#6 It's the End of Le Monde as we know it,

#7 Shareholders could then move in to take control away from the journalists. Le Monde's unusual structure means that staff control 52% of the holding company and elect their directors and editors.

I think I may have identified part of the problem.
