Uh..

Caveat Emptor?
I was really excited about Macron, but this news of his aversion to the press is depressing.

Your thoughts are too complex for journalists?
Do the Bastille Day interview, Macron.

However, I LOVE the magazine, Marianne's, response with the headline "Us no understand President Macron" (the link doesn't go to the article, but look at the error page!)

Also, I am a little wary of the submarine PR stunt too...   The Sun King session? Check yo head.  Make sure you have people that disagree with you while you are at the top.  You can be a philosopher king, Mr. complex thinker, but don't forget about the people.
