Journalist Criticizes Media Platforms for Tolerating Anti-Muslim Rhetoric
Tuesday 8 October 2019, by
Journalist Jean-Michel Aphatie is surprised by the presence of Éric Zemmour on the media scene after his anti-Muslim speeches. The latest one was delivered at the Convention of the Far Right. According to him, he should be denied access to TV sets, in order to protect viewers from the discriminatory remarks often disseminated by the man.
Jean-Michel Aphatie denounces a "double standard" policy. He does not understand why, despite his unpleasant remarks, Eric Zemmour continues to be popular with his employers who continue to call on him.
"An anti-Semitic discourse is sanctioned, an anti-Arab discourse is not and we are faced with this contradiction," lamented Jean-Michel Aphatie.
According to Saphirnews, the journalist thinks it is bad to let Éric Zemmour, a "delinquent", speak when he only "says bad things about Muslims, Islam and Arabs," on the pretext that he would represent a significant part of the population.
"If journalists do not have the means, through their employers, to prohibit these remarks on their airwaves, we are preparing for difficult tomorrows," he concluded.
