Libération: a comparison between 1998 and 2010

In 2010 for Gay Games VIII, the second held in Europe, French left-leaning daily gave us the following for its only coverage of the event that brought together nearly 10,000 men and women from 70 countries:
We have all the more reason to wonder why Libération has so lamentably failed when we consider their coverage of the first Gay Games in Europe back in 1998.
