My first memories of Bruno Masure? Some images on the family television set, a long time ago, when François Mitterrand was President: dinner is over, I am hanging out next to my parents on the sofa, putting off finishing my homework. With its round face, it looks like a placid teddy bear in a tie. He reads his teleprompter without blinking, reeling off the thread of unique information to which France as a whole lends absolute objectivity. It is the word of the Gospel. It is a high mass at which everyone receives communion. We arrive on time – 8 p.m. – in this little church that is the living room. There are, moreover, only two parishes, TF1 et France 2 – the continuous news channels have not yet been born – which distill the same story. And we drink in the presenter's words: he is the way, the truth and the life. Bruno Masure often ends his news with an idle play on words which makes the guy seem even more harmless.
“mentally defective”
How could I have imagined that this gentleman, at the age of 77, would insult me, on December 28, 2024, calling me (on mentally retarded ”, would assert “ to be so ashamed to see myself proclaimed a journalist ”, would accuse me of “ deeply soil the profession » et « to only work in putrid media » ? And it's not over: my press card doesn't matter to him, I'm not ” obviously not a journalist “, is ” only works for extremely lame far-right activist sites, style Boulevard Voltaire” and, even, “ it is an insult to the profession of real journalists “. Close the ban.
What crime have I committed to attract this torrent of insults? Note, on
Let's say it straight: I believed, for a moment, that Bruno Masure's X account, uncertified and with a provocative self-deprecating presentation, was parody. Run by a usurper. Alas, he is nothing. His friends from Liberationthrough an article signed CheckNews, report that the Twitter account (now X) of Bruno Masure “ sometimes gritty » (sic), au « language that is flowery to say the least (even saucy, and sometimes clearly insulting) ”, is indeed his. The latter, contacted by them, assumes, persists and unabashedly asserts his words.
To see the good sides during this Christmas period, I could consider that this violent charge is worth a title of glory, Bruno Masure having attacked the greatest: the late Jean-Pierre Pernaut (qualified as “ gros with »), Laurence Ferrari (« bitch », the host of CNews actually blocked it), Gérard Holtz (“ disabled » et « chauvinistic loser “), Bernard de La Villardière (” poor late-bred aristo who produces outrageous, appalling and vulgar broadcasts “) or even David Pujadas, who reports that he no longer counts the ” insulting messages » et « orduriers » from the former presenter. Even Aphatie (!) takes it for granted, during an interview with Marine Le Pen on RTL : « With his stupid questions, poor Aphatie has once again opened up an avenue for Marine Le Pen. »
Neutral and objective
But the real subject is elsewhere: here is the supposedly perfectly neutral individual, who for nearly fifteen years presided over the editorial choices presented, without contradiction, to all of France communicating in the same biased and biased information?
We understand better why the former presenter particularly hates the news channels – “ “News” channelshe writes, ejaculate with Pétain, they have the buzz for the whole evening or even more if affinities » – and those who embody them: in a photo from the set of Faced with information (CNews), he says he has “ a vision of horror “. This hatred is quite logical, since they put an end to the information monopoly of which he was, with a handful of his cronies from the same ideological group, the omnipotent king. Bruno Masure finally confirms what he claims to deny: like, later, Wikipediathe news of the two French TV channels (he moved from one to the other) have profoundly modeled, oriented, influenced under the cover of neutrality and expertise, serving a ready-to-think every evening in a manner Pravdaan incontestable and undisputed truth.
Since Bruno Masure defends Wikipediawe assume that the information found there about him is accurate: he is described there as “ bisexual “, atheist, or even, according to his words, ” priest eater » et « member of the honorary committee of the Association for the Right to Die with Dignity “. We are on topic: unique information is passing away, but does not have the dignity of dying in silence. Its promoters are definitely bellowing very loudly, and with vulgarity.
