The journalist adopts two different tones in the two shows in which he participates.
In “Rembob’INA” (LCP), an archive program at the end of which we cannot help but, each time, say to ourselves that TV, after all, was better before, Patrick Cohen is impeccable. We can only recommend it. This Sunday, at 4 p.m., he is offering a program on Marguerite Duras, interviewer for the ORTF in the 1960s, which shows that public television under de Gaulle was, whatever anyone says, more tolerant of people on the left than today’s public service to people on the right. But on Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine’s show (France 5, C à vous, 6:55 p.m. Monday to Friday), he becomes an idiot.
Brittle, peremptory, not hiding his contempt for those who do not think like him, his excesses made him trip over his feet: blame from Arcom. But Cohen, full of certainties, will continue to attack his enemies, whom he reinforces every time he speaks, has he even thought about it? For him, the important thing is not so much the effectiveness of his fight as it is to keep his conscience as a good bourgeois calm. It’s a character from Labiche.
Finally, good news: next season, Michel Drucker is continuing his show, increased by half an hour! Here is one who cannot be blamed for an unfortunate word or an original thought in his sixty-year career. This eternal toddler who no longer wants to cause his parents pain and will have worn out many benches, without forgetting rugs or polishing brushes, has his whole future ahead of him.
