so I was browsing wiki, and got to Reporters Without Borders (RS, they pop up often in the news from lib-"progressive" news outlets, usually about censorship in countries like China, Venezuela and Cuba. It turns out the founder is another former Trot that turned into rightwing ghoul:

RSF was founded in Montpellier, France, in 1985 by Robert Ménard, Rémy Loury, Jacques Molénat and Émilien Jubineau.

While in college, he became aligned with Trotskyist elements; he joined the Socialist Party before leaving it in 1981.

In 2013, he announced he would be a candidate for the position of Mayor of Béziers in the 2014 municipal elections. He launched his campaign with the support of the sovereigntist right-wing party Debout la République. Ménard subsequently welcomed the support of the National Front, which endorsed him as its candidate although he was not a member.

-Never trust a College Trot, especially one that comes from a middle class background, their opposition to AES usually leads them to the right!
