This is propaganda because
This is propaganda, because this edition came out during the campaign, a time when the media have to keep an editorial line cleared of all political preferences of leaning. This is clearly frontal leaning. Even though Macron was running against a far-right candidate, this doesn't give this journal the right to use this kind of complicity and support for one candidate. The message is straight-forward, not even hidden: "vote Macron". This is pure, direct, unhidden propaganda.
