Bus Fredericton To Toronto

Letter to AFP

Here are the contents of a letter I just sent to AFP.

Dear

For several months, and more specifically since the so-called "case Dray," I note with systematicity special treatment from Agence France Press me.

This treatment is, when I speak in the media about the government or personalities of the right to publish news whose title suggests that I support the current majority, even though it is no sense of my speech, and the body of the mail itself is often the correct title.

can imagine at most, if not understand, that the format of the mail and current uses of the media choose to push voucher shock, and simplify or has written information. But what is neither understandable nor acceptable is that we come to make me say the opposite of what I actually said, or by distorting my words, or by selecting a few sentences carefully cut their text to modify the general meaning of my address.

Last November you made me so "steals [r] the rescue of Charles Pasqua " when I was just wondering unblinding of defense to show clear in his trial. In June, still you think I "defend " Hortefeux , when I say in truth that he made unacceptable. And finally this week, you read it, I " include [s] suffering Woerth " - title a dispatch by the report of a broadcast during which I actually made those comments, but also denounced the political mistakes of the individual, as you remember yourself elsewhere in the text of the telegram . Now you probably know what brand, what remains is the title, more than the content.

If this incident was isolated, we could still put him on behalf of attention or selective memory, but the consistency of the process leads me to wonder about his intent. These dispatches, placed end to end, do not they would seek in fact to build a scenario, that of indescribable friendship or collusion with the powers that be?

I am so grateful, now, to ensure that mails me about a title that no longer twist my words to their to say the opposite of my thinking.

Julien Dray
