You know what? I never liked World . I have always wanted to write it and I feel better already. With all this mess on the current battle between the moguls and industrialists to save "the French daily "I express my humble disgust at everything.
conveyors are back there and they are willing to pay their million. All this for a newspaper that has always been ugly. The model of the World may well have been remade several times in three years, this does not always suit me and most importantly, it does not make me forget the decades during which the newspaper was no photo with a typo of moron neuneus a model of business school students, with articles and topics bournemouth bournemouth and bournemouth angles of reportage.
When I was young, it was either work for Liberation or nothing. Especially not for World . It would have torn the face and toes to write music for old people who all stayed to jazz - and again. But it would have even more disgusted to do so without a media figure, just because it was like that since the Second World War without the class side of the newspaper without pictures. No picture. In a world where the image has always won. From the early '80s, the image had already passed the written and the newspaper has put loooooongues years to admit.
For me, The World symbolizes everything wrong with France. Absolutely everything. These are people I have boycotted all my life, and yes, we have the right boycotting someone or a country, and if I think about it, there's no one around me who would be found in newspaper. Looks like I'm home to a French social category that was separate from the World at birth. I have expected anything of this journal because I think there is a mismatch from the start. The proof is that I collect tons of press since years - and I have virtually nothing World .
Since I play here too, I wish to emphasize the ugliness of the object. For me it is a statement full, final. This France in black and white that I have not stopped criticizing revels here in a writing style that I find increasingly wobbly. Finally, all this is badly written, it lacks pace and personal style, is false and not very serious level on many topics. For example, to use a formula, on subjects I know well , World is no way, it is zero.
Queers? Not an item that goes to the bottom of the topic, because of their irrational panic around the "communitarianism." It is as if we had to take tweezers and precautions on gays, is exhausting. And all thanks to battalions of journalists in the closet. And when they are not ... If you believe that Caroline Fourest will satisfy our thirst for truth is really bad about us. It's a bond that is not one.
music? Wait, I choke with laughter. House and techno from the perspective of anthropology taken from far away ... When we saw Whatsisname to papers on the house and land at raves with bus journalists, we all laughed. A total bourge who lands in a barn full of guys pulled out the exta and .... takes notes. Hip hop? I think they know yet what it really is, it will take 2 years to notice that the last album Drake . They were so happy to find slam as an alternative.
AIDS? But not really. For 20 years, it was all bland editorials and speeches of all the presidents of Aids and it was every time the wrong message, by the wrong person at the wrong time. Marshmallow. When it was ACT UP and we'd read something about AIDS in The World , we fell it was so hands off center. Always position the softest, most consensual, the most stupid actually. The World was a reflection of the institutions, it was exactly what we sought to reform.
Libe was brilliant, but The World has always been dull. And so old! My god, these old people! 83 years and Still Counting! They still use words like "to prosper" or worse, "notwithstanding" a bit like Libe that still leaves us with titles "The bean mangetout: How many divisions? . You can stop with the clichés of language 10 years ago? That level I nrocks , not a newspaper! And delirium political and financial burden on the business of rescue, it would not be the materialization of the stupidity of this newspaper? Look at the contenders. Until the last moment, clinging to the buoy poisoned. The money race for the 2012 maturity in full World Cup, so the shower is that everyone sees through it a complete clarity. And should defend the journalists who sell us the rich culture (classical music) for the rednecks of Education and I'm talking about slam with tremolos in the keyboard of the computer, and I will bowl throughout the summer arts festivals alive!
is distressing to see that my heart pounds my hands when approaching the New York Times or Guardian. So that when I take my train from Paris to go home, I pass the relay and the Montparnasse A World of is already there and I sleep. Zzzzzzz. I already know what's inside. This is a diary in which there is nothing that we have wanted to cut. Or reread. Or report to a friend. It's blank.
I never felt that my political agenda was visible in the pages of World . I am one of the outcasts of the world and there are many in this country. We are not interested because they did not make the same studies and we did not even place in society. There is disdain and contempt in World . There is even a good dose of menticide.
We all know what it takes to publish a view in the pages World of . You need a connection with someone despicable. It does not necessarily work in World is a go-between. And that's why you have no text of Akhenaten in World .
After Mitterrand's election in 1981, I worked in a hotel and the only daily that management distributed to its customers was L e Figaro. At that time, Le Figaro was really atrocious, ideologically and aesthetically. It was the voice of anti-socialism. It was a newspaper to look cheap, even if the supplement was 450 reports per year on the Maldives. In 30 years, everyone now recognizes that Le Figaro, right, did a better job than World . And I am left, right.
We are facing the greatest economic crisis in decades, people are screaming all over the world, BP Oil fills the oceans, Gaza remains under siege, Jerusalem was divided into zoning, the Europe is torn, it's Gay Pride in a few days (eeeeek) and what happens there in France? We fuck with the "rescue" of the World . You really believe that The World will help solve these problems? If you believe you're even more stupid than me and you deserve to be transported to the field in an ashram nightmare whose schedule is being developed by Carla Bruni, Arielle Dombasle and another starlet kind. I'm really not afraid to alienate an entire team of journalists. I have no knowledge in this medium. I'm already alienated by these people. They censor my work but mainly my time. All that for 2012.
