The last diving attacks will have been too much. After months spent reading criticism from the X account (formerly Twitter) @medias_citoyens without reacting, Radio France decided to retaliate. In a series of messages published on the social network Tuesday, December 5, in the early evening, the management of the radio group dismantles point by point recent assertions, made by anonymous detractors hidden behind this address, which it considers to be false.
“No, Ali Baddou did not open the interview by saying “Your words are rare in the media, we are delighted to receive you and to be able to hear you””, begins the first long post devoted to dismantling the criticisms made about from the interview with Jean-Luc Mélenchon broadcast on the France Inter morning show on Saturday December 2.
Coverage of Dupond-Moretti’s acquittal
“No, the reaction of the Anticor association was not the only one relayed by franceinfocontinues Radio France regarding the treatment reserved on November 29 by its antenna for the acquittal of Eric Dupond-Moretti, the Minister of Justice, who was tried by the Court of Justice of the Republic for illegal taking of interest. This is a partial presentation of the coverage of the information in question. » @medias_citoyens thought they detected “dismay and anger” in the cover of this court decision by the “left-wing media”.
Already on December 2, the mediator of Radio France, Emmanuelle Daviet, had devoted her column to “criticisms” published on ” social networks “ on this subject. The deputy editorial director of the all-news station, Florent Guyotat, endeavored to demonstrate that the plurality of reactions had been respected, contrary to what @medias_citoyens suggested.
Since its appearance last March, @medias_citoyens presents itself as a “citizen collective for honest, ethical and non-populist media”. Several times per day, the network publishes posts denouncing articles, broadcasts, or journalists which, according to its analysis, lack neutrality or impartiality. The world, ReleaseAgence France-Presse, the show Daily (TMC), etc. are regularly mocked when public broadcasting constitutes an ultra-privileged target. “In the last three months alone, Médias Citoyens has published seventy-three posts targeting Radio France or one of its branches”indicates public radio in one of its own messages.
