A TV passage that is far from satisfying France 2. Saturday evening, in "We are not lying", interviewed by Laurent Ruquier and the chroniclers Franz-Olivier Giesbert and Adele van Reeth, Yann Moix engaged in an exercise contrite on his antisemitic writings of youth, at the heart of a very lively polemic for ten days. But this moment was very little appreciated by the direction of the group, as affirms the journalist of the JDD Renaud Revel in Culture Media with Philippe Vandel, Wednesday.
"'Bond of connivance', 'consanguinity', 'incestuous links' between Yann Moix, Laurent Ruquier and the two chroniclers Franz-Olivier Giesbert and Adele van Reeth ... The direction of France 2 discovered this show about three hours before its broadcast. Traditionally, they leave absolute freedom of tone to Catherine Barma and Laurent Ruquier.They fell from the closet because they did not expect so much complacency.
They believe that Laurent Ruquier has not done his job, that the show is not up to the controversy and that it is unworthy that France Télévisions can broadcast such a program. The leaders of France Televisions are extremely annoyed by this controversy, especially as we are eight months from the expiry of the mandate of Delphine Ernotte. So we do not want waves, and this case actually. "
According to Le Monde , a crisis unit was held Wednesday, August 28 at the headquarters of France Televisions, after the revelation of Yann Moix anti-Semitic youth writings. It was the occasion of a showdown between the producer of the show On un lying , Catherine Barma, and the number 2 of France Televisions, Takis Candilis. According to the newspaper , the management of France Televisions has finally yielded.
"They gave in because Laurent Ruquier is very powerful, he is installed for many years [2006, Ed], the program works well and remains a great brand.Laurent Ruquier is part of the untouchables of this house, but the remarks are today extremely severe. "
