French elections

[FrenchSkin]

Here in France medias talk a lot about how american intellectuals view our elections, so I'm just curious, do you guys actually follow this ?

The only reason folks here know about this because the media has said the lady running is trump, therefore the media has another villain to bash.

The formula for the media the last 10 years, any other view other than progressive, socialist liberal is the enemy.

Exactly, like that progressive, socialist liberal rag Fox News, or Breitbart, or The Blaze.

No, I'm not referring to bubble spots. I'm talking what is considered mainstream. Cnn, NBC, cbs and abc evening news and NBC today show. It's quite apparent.

"Media" is a fairly all-encompassing term. You might want to be more specific next time. If you are finding a real lack of news agencies that put out views you agree with, you aren't looking hard enough. Every angle and slant is covered already. Right wing sites are just in the minority, for obvious reasons. If you aren't a conservative, aka you are in the middle or a liberal, you most likely agree Fox News and the like are nutjobs. If you are a conservative, odds are you think everything that isn't Fox News is bullshit. It ain't hard to see what you want to see nowadays, most people just bury their head in the side of the sand that supports their views.

And you sound like someone who enjoys having a president that verbally jerks himself off every time he steps in front of a microphone.

So lets look at the state of France:

The unemployment among the youth and young adults is at crisis level compared to the rest of Europe. The taxes in that country are extreme to say the least. They have a minority population of Islamic terrorists living in the country and coming in a refugees...and have suffered terrorist attack after terrorist attack.

They chose between to 2 fringe candidates as President....this is a continuing trend. I think people have had enough of the same ole, same ole around the world.
