Examples US Election Coverage in French Publications



Obama and McCain's faces, OK mostly Obama's, have been on so many French newspapers and magazines. And of course, it's covered constantly in TV news.

To the left, a satirical publication, like The Onion. Headline reads: Bad work... it's always for the black people.














Headline reads: Can he win?













Headline reads: The last chance for America

Thanks, that was really cool. Did you hear about the phone call Palin received from a Montreal D.J. posing as Sarkozy? Are they covering it there?

One more thing, if I hear one more woman say any of the following:"Oh Sarah Palin is such an inspiration for all women. She's what every woman wants to be. She broke the glass ceiling."

Puke. She didn't do shit.

Look people, I'm a feminist, and highly support female candidates, when they're qualified; but she's straight up being used by the Republicans to pander to Hillary supporters who are pissed off Hillary didn't get the nomination. There's a list of Republican women that are more qualified than her.

And frankly, they picked her because she's eye candy.

I can't even begin to express how offended I am they chose her.

God Brooke, I am laughing so hard! It is nice to hear someone else put my frustration into words. Next time you have a Palin attack, post it here:
