Mon Dieu! Le Huffington Post Launches Today

Image via WikipediaA partnership involving Le Monde, Les Nouvelles Editions Independantes and The Huffington Post Media Group today launched Le Huffington Post, which the news aggregator promises "will be rooted in French culture and will reflect France's own unique personality, rich culture and diversity of voices."

Anne Sinclair, who has written a blog, annesinclair.fr., will serve as editorial director of Le Huffington Post. Among bloggers debuting on the site today are Guy Carrcassonne, a Univ. of Paris professor, and Julien Dray, a member of the country's Parliament.

France sends us brie and Chateauneuf de Pape; we send them the parsimonius Huffington Post and Jerry Lewis. Hardly seems fair, and may explain why they don't like us.
