While Cyril Hanouna presented On marche sur la tête on Europe 1 during the legislative campaign, Le Monde refers to a “propaganda” show in favor of the extreme right. Gilles Verdez, who does not hide his left-wing ideas, is also cited in this investigation.
During the legislative campaign, Cyril Hanouna presented On marche sur la tête on Europe 1, instead of Sophie & Les Copains, hosted by Sophie Davant.
Starting June 17, the star presenter of C8 welcomed political leaders along with his columnists for 15 days.
The daily newspaper Le Monde examined the 15 hours of live broadcasts and singled out Cyril Hanouna, also implicating the journalist and columnist Gilles Verdez.
After the announcement of the dissolution of the National Assembly, TV channels and radio stations quickly revised their program schedules to better reflect the political context. On Europe 1, the show Sophie & Les Copains, presented by Sophie Davant, gave way to Cyril Hanouna’s talk show called On marche sur la tête.
Thus, every afternoon, the star presenter of C8 spoke for 15 days to discuss political news. From June 17, in the company of his columnists, Cyril Hanouna received political figures. However, the newspaper The worldwho has reviewed the 15 hours of live broadcast, claims that the far right has been given pride of place.
We are walking on our heads: Cyril Hanouna pinned by Le Monde
In fifteen days on the air, Cyril Hanouna has received figures from the extreme right, such as Eric Zemmour, Robert Ménard, Julien Odoul and Marion Maréchal. According to The worldseveral dozen minutes of live broadcasts were reportedly deleted from the replays. The daily claims that passages would contain personal and political accusations which could expose Cyril Hanouna and Europe 1 to legal proceedings for defamation or violation of the presumption of innocence.
Our colleagues, who talk about broadcasting “propaganda”put forward another figure: Cyril Hanouna would have openly criticized the New Popular Front or the left for 30 minutes compared to 2 minutes 30 for the presidential majority. The RN candidates, for their part, would never have been blamed.
Finally, if on June 25, the host welcomed for the first time Arthur Delaporte, candidate of the Socialist Party, according to the count of the Mondethe politician was allegedly interrupted or contradicted 120 times in 9 minutes, three times more than Laure Lavalette, RN candidate which itself was only interrupted about forty times in 11 minutes.
We are walking on our heads: Gilles Verdez surprisingly discreet
Still according to The world, Gilles Verdezfavorable to the ideas of the New Popular Front, would have spoken 2 min 30 on average by broadcastwhich is very low compared to other columnists. In an excerpt since deleted, Cyril Hanouna had notably accused of being “responsible for the rise of anti-Semitism in France” in addition to having a share of responsibility for the anti-Semitic rape which took place in Courbevoie last June.
As a reminder, this Thursday, June 26, Arcom, the audiovisual regulator, formally notified Europe 1 for lack of “measure” and D’“honesty”pointing out the lack of contradiction and pluralism in this same program.
