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)

Actu Foot reported that Mundo Deportivo presented PSG's competitive advantage as a challenge for Barça before their confrontation. According to the newspaper, eight Barcelona players had exceeded 2,000 league minutes the previous season, compared to three Parisians. Sergi Camps, a journalist at Catalunya Radio, estimated that Luis Enrique could rotate almost his entire team against weaker opponents. Pablo Polo, from Marca, nuanced this analysis, stating that Ligue 1 could not be considered a handicap when PSG lost the Champions League and a disadvantage when they won it. Actu Foot relayed these elements via RMC Sport. #PSG #FCBarcelona #Football (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)

Violence, at a certain point, can be legitimate. Bruno Retailleau cites several posts on X or statements from LFI elected officials in recent months, including "Take down the citadel," written by Jean-Luc Mélenchon on X, or "Violence, at a certain point, can be legitimate," according to the mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko (who did, however, qualify: "Whenever it can be avoided, it's better"). #Violence #LFI #République (translated)

Demolish the citadel Bruno Retailleau cites several posts on X or statements from LFI elected officials in recent months, including "Demolish the citadel," written by Jean-Luc Mélenchon on X, or "Violence, at a certain point, can be legitimate," according to the mayor of Saint-Denis Bally Bagayoko (who had nevertheless stated: "Whenever we can avoid it, it's better"). #Violence #LFI #République (translated)

Jan B. Hommel criticized Trouw for, in his opinion, only starting to investigate nearly six years later. He accused the newspaper of presenting itself as objective and highlighting both sides of the story but deemed that approach too late and insufficient. Hommel also criticized Agnes Kant, who, according to him, wanted to investigate the effects of mRNA vaccines. He wondered if Kant had previously stated that the side effects were manageable and claimed that Lareb had fallen short. According to Hommel, Kant's current stance showed that she poorly remembered her earlier statements. He expressed his aversion to the assertion that coronavirus vaccines were crucial for reducing the impact of the pandemic. Hommel said an article would soon be published that would, in his opinion, significantly nuance that assertion. As a meager consolation, he hoped that those involved had been vaccinated themselves. #mRNAvaccins #Trouw #coronavaccins (translated)

Chris Kramer wrote that activist Tom van ’t Einde reacted strongly when Douwe Filz nuanced the situation regarding the war in Ukraine. A defense guest reportedly said that during wartime, one should not look at things from two sides. Kramer referred to this as the level of the Dutch debate and talk shows, where, according to him, a table with a visibly irritated host reacted negatively when someone wanted to discuss multiple perspectives. He stated that the underlying message was to remain silent and follow the government. #Oorlog #Oekraïne #Debat (translated)

R. Glucksmann claims that he 'pees on me'. Recently, he announced that he was going to 'fold me'. We can see how he adopts the 'method of nuance' that he recommends and the 'refusal of the brutalization of the debate' that he proclaims," Jean-Luc Mélenchon replied on X, as a duel was established between representatives of two very different lefts. #primairedelagauche #RaphaëlGlucksmann #PlacePublique (translated)

Elizabeth Sheppard Sellam estimated that whenever moderates prevailed, their opponents mobilized.

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that the public broadcaster had mostly given a voice to people in recent weeks who were in favor of a larger government and against cuts. A cut of 1 percent in subsidies was proposed as a national disaster, among others in discussions with trade unions and Paul De Grauwe, whom Vande Reyde said had claimed that the government debt would vanish like snow in the sun. He also stated that the broadcaster was actively looking for protesting students to give legitimacy to the riots. Vande Reyde accused the VRT and other traditional media of ignoring issues that people were concerned about or portraying those with such concerns as foolish. According to him, subsidized activist organizations were given ample space, while guests advocating for a smaller government or who were critical of migration were invariably surrounded by additional commentary and counterarguments. Vande Reyde wondered whether this reporting explained the loss of trust in traditional media. He wrote that media subsequently labeled social media as suspicious and presented themselves as the only reliable source, while according to him they were pursuing more subsidies and advertising revenues. #MediaBias #Overheid #VRT (translated)
