CNews Shifts Controversial Commentator Eric Zemmour’s Show to Delayed Broadcast

Thursday 31 October 2019, by Bladi.net

The new CNews show, "Face à l’info", with the controversial commentator Eric Zemmour, will no longer be broadcast live, but slightly delayed, the Canal+ Group management said on Tuesday.

This decision comes from the elected staff of Canal+, who immediately seized the Canal+ Ethics Committee for the application of the measure.

This aims to "ensure the conditions for perfect editorial control" of the program, broadcast at 7 p.m., whose controversial editorialist, Zemmour, recruited by Canal+, is the star.

Even though, for his statements, the audience of CNews has multiplied tenfold, breaking records, some of them, particularly on Muslims, homosexuals and the colonization in Algeria, do not fail to arouse indignation.

Pending the reaction of the CSA, seized several times to rule on the program, many organizations, personalities and associations have announced that they will no longer go on CNews as long as the channel gives a voice to the controversial commentator.
