This is a reluctant choice made by the management of CNews.
The continuous news channel
would have liked to keep his star columnist.
Untenable since the decision of the audiovisual policeman to
count his daily airtime
as political speech, it is therefore with regret that CNews withdraws
Éric Zemmour
from his show, which is a hit every night at 7 p.m.
The polemicist reacted this Monday morning, invited opportunely on the channel: "
Sad
" in the face of an "
inevitable decision
", he presents himself as a victim of censorship.
He had already stopped his chronicles with his other employer,
Le Figaro
a few days ago.
Clearly in the countryside
However, Eric Zemmour will continue to remain very present, especially on his YouTube channel, followed by thousands of subscribers.
But also during his tour for the release of his new book: he will be in Toulon and Nice next weekend.
Expert in the art of maintaining the interest of the media, Éric Zemmour advances barely masked.
Not a candidate, without identified troops, but clearly in the countryside.
