Those are some … choice excerpts. They don’t describe the level of bashing and aggrieved hostility he has received from the mainstream press for the past ten years (which has coincidentally been billionaire-owned for most of this time period), nor how his campaign promises are aligned with Bernie sanders and zorahn mamdani and light-years away from trump.
Temperament-wise, he is definitely not a sanders or mamdani, that’s for sure. More of a firebrand than the lying conman that Trump is, in my opinion.
They’re not exactly mainstream, either; I stated the mainstream press is billionaire owned.
As for the insults, they don’t come from nowhere; Mediapart has been wishy-washy on upholding their own journalistic rigour when it comes to reporting on LFI precisely when much of the media landscape is actively hostile towards them. For example, the media observatory ACRIMED has written about it last year as part of a broader article on this hostility: https://www.acrimed.org/Ce-que-nous-dit-l-acharnement-mediatique-contre
This dude sounds more like a leftist Trump than Bernie Sanders

Mediapart isn’t billionaire owned. He insults them anyway.
