Yellow vest protesters marched on the headquarters of leading French broadcasters Saturday, as small groups turned out Saturday in Paris and around France despite waning momentum for their movement.
Hundreds of demonstrators, some chanting “Journalists — Collaborationists!” traced a path around Paris visiting the central offices of television networks BFM and state-run France Televisions and announced plans to march to other broadcasters.
Some members of the broad-based yellow vest movement accuse leading media of favoring President Emmanuel Macron’s government and big business and minimizing the protests — even though they’ve been the leading news story in France since they kicked off Nov. 17 out of anger at fuel tax hikes. […]
Peaceful gatherings were held Saturday in several cities, from Marseille on the Mediterranean to Albertville in the Alps and Rouen in Normandy.

Long wait till the election in May 2022! Then it’s Marine Le Pen!
Their problems are deeper than one leader.
The French Deep State would never allow that. and Le Pen came too close last time. So if she looks like the favorite in 2022, I predict that she'll be arrested on some fake charge. Or maybe she'll have an "accident".
By the way, no discussion of Marine Le Pen is complete without a picture of her politician niece, Marion.
Waking up are they?
“Protesters continued blocking roundabouts in several sites, tangling traffic and letting just a few drivers through at a time, on a busy weekend of holiday travel.”
Smooth move, idiots. Make regular people’s lives harder and tick off the people you need to support you. Morons.
Boy, I don’t think those journalists were expecting that. When you go back to the entire election....the journalists from France were led from one pro-Macron point to another. There are the chief fuel that made the Macron-dream election possible.
“urinalists”
Now that’s funny.
“Some members of the broad-based yellow vest movement accuse leading media of favoring President Emmanuel Macron’s government and big business and minimizing the protests — “
Do you think the reason could be because the Press is Big Business? Sheeeesh....

The formula for all “democracies” across the globe seems to be a favored personality with little actual experience outside of politics.

The French know how to deal with collaborators.
You nailed !
Here true for both parties but particularly true for Rats!
Two cases in point:
1. Slick & Hellary by the time they left the WH, they both had lived in government supplied/paid for housing for a large percentage of their lives! slick never had a private sector job & Hellary’s Watergate lawyer (fired form it for dishonesty!) & “rainmaker” for Rose Hill Law Firm (So was that really a private sector job?)
2. Zero - other then his ice cream stand job, I think one year as a editor for a small investment newsletter. (Now that’s what I call using your Harvard law education!)
Trade one America-hater for another?
A conservative friend had two grand daughter visiting France after the first week of December, and they just got home.
They said that there is no way the Yellow Jackets are ebbing.
The French mediots and ours are not covering what is happening at many levels.
Exactly. Sound familiar? Re: we have similar issues here in the United States.
Maybe the traitors to “the people” are hoping that it will fade away and then it will be business as usual.
