Press Briefs reported that a journalist had indicated the day before that the management of BFMTV assured that there was no racism on air and that there would never be. However, the author believed that the channel regularly welcomed various far-right tendencies, particularly in the shows of Sonia Mabrouk, a former host at CNews, with very present editorialists and the mayor of Béziers. He judged that the debates leaned the same way. According to Press Briefs, under pressure, especially from internet users, BFMTV had ultimately removed Éric Zemmour from the schedule on Saturday. The president of Reconquête was to be received the day after what the author termed a racist terrorist attack in the Yvelines, which resulted in 1 death and 5 injuries. #BFMTV #racisme #extrêmeDroite (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that, according to an article in the Financial Times by columnist Gideon Rachman, European leaders could soon start direct talks with Vladimir Putin. Rachman suggested two possible agreements to end the war in Ukraine: freezing the conflict along the current front line in exchange for Kyiv's renunciation of NATO membership, or ceding the rest of Donbass to Russia in exchange for Ukraine's entry into the Alliance. According to the columnist, European leaders are increasingly rejecting the idea of leaving the negotiations with Putin solely to Washington, partly due to frustration with Trump's approach. #Ucraina #Putin #Diplomazia (translated)

Citizen Media estimated that French media gave little voice to moderate and non-partisan citizens, in favor of people with stronger opinions, activists, and associative spokespersons. According to the media, this selection, particularly in televised news, street interviews, and studio debates, distorted the representation of opinions and concerns of the French people. Citizen Media added that this invisibilization marginalized individuals committed to dialogue and pragmatism. It claimed that it impoverished democratic debate, fueled distrust towards the media, and gave the impression that society was divided into irreconcilable camps. #Médias #OpinionPublique #Démocratie (translated)

Press summaries have linked Dominique Rizet's desire to demonstrate on October 17 against the high cost of living to his comments on BFMTV during the Yellow Vests mobilization in December 2018. The account recalled that he had then expressed satisfaction with the number of arrests and had described as "unacceptable" the speech of a lawyer denouncing preventive arrests, according to sequences documented by Acrimed. Press summaries also cited alerts from the Defender of Rights regarding violations of the freedom to protest and criticisms from Amnesty concerning preemptive police custody ahead of demonstrations. The account mentioned the 7,000 arrests related to the student movement and reported that a commissioner explained this week in Le Canard enchaîné that the goal was to intimidate students and parents. Finally, he compared diesel, which he claimed had risen from about €1.53/L in 2018 to an average national price of €2.348/L on October 14, 2026. A full tank of 60 liters would thus have increased from about 92 to 141 euros, while food prices would have risen by approximately 31% since 2018. Press summaries presented this situation as ironic, considering that the high cost of living now affects commentators who had previously observed social anger from a distance. https://t.co/wL4ynpwH8T #Giletsjaunes #manifestation #précarité (translated)

Karina Michelin stated that images of the pro-Lula act on Avenida Paulista showed vandalism, graffiti, and a burning United States flag. She compared the scenes to the coverage of January 8, when, as she wrote, the press broadcast the events in real time and published immediate condemnations. Michelin questioned why Folha, O Globo, and UOL did not give the images from Avenida Paulista similar prominence, with cover photographs and headlines that classified the acts as terrorist or coup-related. She suggested that the difference in treatment could be related to the political identity of those involved. The author also pointed out similarities between the episodes, such as the presence of hooded groups, vandalism, and intimidation, and said that this reinforced the hypothesis of infiltration of violent groups among peaceful protesters on January 8. Finally, she stated that innocent Bolsonaro supporters had been arrested and cruelly convicted and expressed outrage at the possibility that those responsible for the vandalism on Avenida Paulista had not yet been identified or punished. #Imprensa #Vandalismo #GuerrilhaUrbana (translated)
