Bruno Donnet 09:51, March 24, 2023
Every day, Bruno Donnet watches television, listens to the radio and scans newspapers and social networks to deliver his telescoping. This Friday, he takes stock of the burning news of the week.
Every day, Bruno Donnet observes the treatment of the news, by the media, but on Fridays he regularly takes stock of it and this week, he found that the information was particularly flammable.
It's a little music that settled slowly. A little music that evoked a little more than heat. The furnace. The blaze.
So, at the beginning, on Monday, the Arte newscast, he believed that this fiery warming was due to the publication of the latest IPCC report and its worrying conclusions: "The hottest years we have experienced so far will be among the coolest in a generation."
So, I imagined that the soundtrack of this hot media week could probably be summed up in this nice refrain by Niagara: "While the fields are burning, I wait for my tears to come. Uh ouh ouh. »
Only as the week progressed, this sweet little music became less and less appropriate. Because if the fire was indeed smouldering this week, as recalled by the deputy Charles de Courson, the matches were mainly in the National Assembly: "In reality, nothing obliged you to 49.3. "
With his motion of censure, rejected by only 9 small votes, Charles de Courson opened Pandora's box: "This vote, you would most probably have lost. But that is the rule in a democracy. »
Because this week, the fire will have been essentially social: "49.", we do not want it. 49.3, we don't want it! »
It had been smouldering for several weeks and the televisions had no difficulty identifying the fuel: "The garbage collectors' strike will provide fuel to the protesters."
All week, journalists insisted on these images of garbage cans piled up. And that's when the soundtrack changed. Because the garbage cans came at the right time: "So that we can put what? Fire! »
Fire is extremely telegenic, which is why all the channels have shown us very largely, as well as the clashes that punctuated the demonstrations: "Face to face sometimes turns into confused melee. The baton blows rain down. »
With a special mention all the same for BFM-TV which broadcasted, live, and every night of the week these images of fires, to the point that we no longer had the impression of watching a news channel but a clip. A clip for this title, signed I Am: "tonight we put you, tonight we set you on fire. Tonight we put you on fire, tonight we set you on fire! »
So in front of the conflagration and the vigor of the social fire, the little music of the news changed because the news called for a firefighter: "What did we do with the pipes, the hoses and the large ladder? What did we do with the pipes? »
But here, the summit of the state decided otherwise and preferred to send Emmanuel Macron, Wednesday, in the newspapers of 13 hours: "But we can not accept neither the factious, nor the factions. "
Hearing this sentence, Bruno Guillon who hosts the game "Each his turn" tried to warn the president of the republic: "that, it will not give much eh. I announce that. »
But Emmanuel Macron took no account of it, because in the fire hose he had taken with him on TV, the President of the Republic had glued gasoline: "And if it is necessary behind to endorse the unpopularity today, I would endorse it. "
As a result, the demonstrators were immediately convinced: "There, he convinced us all to stay as long as possible! Clearly, this president is totally disconnected! We're hallucinating! »
And yesterday's demonstration in Paris reached a peak of participation not seen since May 68.
But the flames, this week, they were not only in the National Assembly or in the street. The fire was also smouldering in the Senate. Xavier Niel, the boss of Free was auditioned. And the Republican senator, Patrick Chaize, criticized him for charging prices much too low: "I do not understand (...) that you have an aggressive pricing policy that therefore announces a stability of your rates over the coming years. But my question is, is this tenable? »
Xavier Niel got into a ball. Fireball: "Are you telling me to raise your prices?"
And he finally summoned the best soundtrack of the information: "So wait, then I'm walking on the moon!"
Because in the face of so much turmoil this week the Police were finally much more appropriate than the firefighters or Niagara Falls.
