I researched the claim of diffamation of June 2005 and found this source. If we are to mention this event, I think we should write:
On May 26, 2005, a French court of appeal found Le Monde director of publication Jean-Marie Colombani and guest writers Edgar Morin, Samir Naïr and Danièle Sallenave guilty of racial defamation for an opinion piece in which they claimed that " Jews, who were the victims of an unforgiving [power], impose their own unforgiving [order] to Palestinians".
However, I don't think it's appropriate to include this condemnation inside the article:
Finally, to be truly neutral with respect to the case, we'd have to get the record of the judgment, some copy of the article motivating the lawsuit, and explain it all. The reason for the condemnation is a wide interpretation of a statute prohibiting incitation to racial hatred; this crime, or the wide interpretation thereof used by certain French courts, anyway don't exist in most countries and thus some lengthier explanation would probably be necessary for this event to be understood by most readers.

I did a bit of reorganization and added a few bits, including the section on editorial structure. I hope someone who knows more than I will expand it. glasperlenspiel 05:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
"Writers of lead reporting articles are not hesitant to venture interpretations and predictions in a manner which might surprise readers accustomed to American-style reporting, with its emphasis on objectivity, "just the facts", and leaving judgements up to the reader." What does the surprise of readers accustomed to American-style reporting have to do with Le Monde? The sentence also implies that American newspapers are impartial. It is both Americo-centric, and bias. Misodoctakleidist 01:56, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
I rightly disagree. American newspapers by and large, whatever bias you might think they covertly express, profess neutrality in their straight reporting. That the French style, or even simply the Le Monde style, doesn't may cause this surprise in and of itself. --

I would like to see a mention of the Clearstream Affair added, but I don't know enought about it to do so.
Can you provide a link or reference or simply illustrate the importance of including such topic within this article?-- Balthazarduju 07:51, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
When in France, even in small and remote villages with a kiosque, I can always buy the edition of that particular day in the early morning.
It is an afternoon paper in Paris, and an evening or next-morning paper elsewhere.... -- Macrakis 13:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
"with a circulation in 2004 of 371,803"; I don't understand this phrase. Please clarify and also update it. -- Octra Bond ( talk) 02:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Category:Newspapers published in Paris is itself a category within Category:Newspapers published in France. — Robert Greer ( talk) 17:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
There ought to be a footnote somewhere explaining why Mr. Alain Bauer played such a prominent role in the direction of Le Monde a few years past. He is, of course, a constitutional lawyer, but it would nevertheless seem unusual to a faraway observer to have a Masonic master either leading or helping a major French newspaper, as well as being a powerful figure in the recent Sarkozy government.

The English version of this page contains en entry for the Russian paper Pravda. This is obviously not correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:1600:A672:313C:122B:61E1:1C28 ( talk) 06:15, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Here's a strange couple of sentences: "Le Monde has been found guilty of defamation for saying that Spanish football club FC Barcelona was connected to a doctor involved in steroid use. The Spanish court fined the newspaper nearly $450,000"
Firstly, since the fine must have been in euros, why is it converted into US dollars? Fine for an exclusively American encyclopedia, I suppose, but not really acceptable in an international one.
Secondly, why is there no date and this rather odd use of the present perfect rather than the past simple, as if to say that Le Monde has been found guilty just now, or that it has been found guilty at some point during its existence, rather than pinning it down to an identifiable event?

I am surprised to see Valeurs Actuelles qualified as right-wing or far right, and not see a similarly dismissive adjective applied to Le Monde, which is as much militant as Valeurs Actuelles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plm203 ( talk • contribs) 16:06, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
