TrashTalk estimated that the violence that occurred on Saturday overshadowed the peaceful demands of thousands of people mobilized to defend their rights. It mentioned the distress of various groups, including young people, high school students, farmers, teachers, firefighters, and nurses, and stated that some desperate young people were contemplating no longer living. The media criticized part of the press for prioritizing viewership and extreme editorial lines at the expense of these concerns. It also acknowledged the injured journalists on the ground and called on its colleagues not to let the rioters divert attention from the movement's demands. Referring to a lesson learned from its journalist parent, TrashTalk invited people to question who benefited from the situation and who triggered the violence. Finally, the media expressed its desire to use its message to support the three French basketball players who, according to it, were in the WNBA finals, asserting that it was part of its responsibilities. #Média #Responsabilité #Société (translated)

Jon De Lorraine challenged Raphaël Glucksmann's statements about the rescue of Donald Trump's Taj Mahal casino. He wrote that Glucksmann had attributed this rescue to billionaires linked to the KGB, but that no known documentary evidence supported it. According to De Lorraine, the casino had been restructured with its bondholders in 1991, after accumulating $675 million in debt, and Trump had sold 50% of the equity in exchange for a restructuring of his debt. De Lorraine deemed it serious that Glucksmann presented this accusation as a fact on public service without being contradicted. #FakeNews #DébatPublic #Politique (translated)

Bally Bagayoko stated that in Saint-Denis and Pierrefitte, he saw families who counted every euro, retirees who were giving up on heating, and young people told that there was no money. He contrasted these situations with record dividends and the increase in wealth for the rich, believing that the crisis benefited some and penalized others. He claimed that this system was protected, particularly by the concentration of media ownership in the hands of billionaires. According to him, the debate focused on the people receiving aid rather than on tax exiles. He advocated for taxing superprofits, pluralism in information, and reinvestment in public services, adding that change would come from working-class neighborhoods and the people who keep the country running. #JusticeSociale #Inégalités #Politique (translated)
