Which is sturdily sticking to its report that the president is personally spying on journalists who report on the Vichy/Bettencourt/On-Line Gambling affairs,is that they are just a short step around the corner from the Palais de Justice, no friend of those at The Interior, formerly (it should be borne in mind) under the command of...Speedy Gonzales.
Yummy.

It's true, but it doesn't mean the herd is wise to ignore what it can't understand. The Frog gummint is reaping the whirlwind they have sown, and it begins with sniping by civil service staff whose pensions and salaries have been cut.
In the meantime, thank you for your interest and for the trouble you have taken to keep me informed of the obvious.

Au contraire Rikkor
I [i]am interested in what goes on in Europe
But for some reason, our media is obsessed with America. While insisting we must integrate more with Europe.
I like the American news too. They invented our language (I read that on the Internet) so it's easier to communicate.

I care too, and I'm usually interested in Hunter's posts, even though I was more a 'Charlie Hebdo' man...

Erratum
When writing : "[the Canard is] just a short step around the corner from the Palais de Justice" we did indeed intend to point out that the Place Vendome is just around the corner and that the Ministry of Justice is located there." Those who did not grasp the significance and who took the time to check will have been confused by our unintentional lack of precision, for which we apologise unreservedly.

There is no formal translation service which can do French journalese justice, whether published by Le Monde or le Parisien. Mechanical translations, supervised by half-baked middle-management with nolinguistic credentials whatever (as in "I lived in Dublin for a year") always make matters much worse. I can glibly translate vernacular and sporting versions, upon request.

I'm not convinced about your adverb here. Consider: 'to translate glibly', ie 'to make a fluent yet possibly deceptive translation', whereas 'to glibly translate' would be 'to make a translation in a frivolous way'. Not sure which interpretation you intended.
Also, I'd like to counsel against offering your services for free on here, you might be inundated with requests from half-baked middle managers.
