Interesting timing, coming just a few weeks after the Kremlin's announcement that it is opening a French-language RT channel - https://www.rt.com/news/413559-rt-france-broadcasting-launch/

And the French rejoiced when their Government legalized censorship.

He already did that back in May when he made gender based insults illegal. Making free speech illegal is Macron's M.O.

Good for you, France.

Of course you do. Because nothing says "freedom" like a government-controlled press.

It all depends on what "fake news" you're making illegal, don'tcha know Sigs?

I bet G would have my back, being rabid against Trump if he were to propose the same thing today.

You would know being an RT fangirl. - GSTRING

Liar.
YOU, OTOH, are CLEARLY in the camp of a government-controlled press. You said it yourself: I applaud his intentions

At least you read 4 words of my post - I guess that's something.
OR did you read past that and see me address that?
"How long before opposition forces accuse Macron of abuse of power and restricting Free Speech??"
I guess "not long" is the answer!- GSTRING

Oh, I read the whole thing. Enough to know where YOU stand on the issue!

Yanno, I have never argued for a controlled press. You, otoh ...

Are we children, that we need to be supervised in what we read?

"Accountable" to whom? Macron? The government? The economic establishment?

You???

Better if we read the truth, isn't it? I know, you'd probably prefer the Chaos Theory that wants it so Americans don't know what to believe.- GSTRING

No, you dolt. I would refer to the SCIENTIFIC THEORY. The "proof of the pudding" theory. Maybe you should look it up. It has to do with the real world, and not your world of lies.

Yanno, I sure wish you'd stop peddling your lies here. You libel others. You lie about what others say. You lie about what YOU say. http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=62089&mid=1
044109#1044109 You do it over and over again. I'm not sure that you even recognize a category called "truth".

Go away. You're hardly one to define "truth" and "accountability".

In fact, I'm not sure you're even a real person. How's that sainted mother of yours doing? Have you found any posts of yours referencing her yet? Or is she just another lie of yours? Are you just one giant figment of some computer's imagination?

LOL... I'd trust Macron with what was and wasn't real news.

Hey, so where is that link to the care that you gave your sainted mother? Or is that just another lie of yours?

In any case, and to get back to the topic at hand ... It's very clear that you're all for government-controlled press.

I'll be posting in this thread about government control of OUR press, which I'm sure, GSTRING, you're all in favor of.

I know, you'd probably prefer the Chaos Theory that wants it so Americans don't know what to believe. Who was that Russian who theorized that disruption strategy? Gertrude Assimoff? Bert and Gertie?

Fake news is 95% of what sig posts. The truth is toxic to trolls like her.
