The pots and pans of protest in the media drum

Every day, Bruno Donnet observes the treatment of the news, by the media, but on Fridays he regularly summarizes it. This week, he was struck by the appearance of a very unexpected accessory in the media concert.

A utensil that was believed, until now, strictly reserved for cooking shows: the pan!

"Calls to make noise with pots and pans everywhere in France that sound like an invitation to boycott Emmanuel Macron's speech."

All week, the media made their cabbages.

And it all began, Monday, the day Emmanuel Macron had chosen to deliver a great speech on TV: "Is this reform accepted? Obviously not! »

Because I do not know if you have noticed, but the President of the Republic has committed a little imprudence. When? Well, right when he said, "No one, least of all, I can't be deaf."

No one can remain deaf!

So, all week, the disgruntled French, took the president at face value and broke his ears, everywhere, wherever he had chosen to set foot: "This morning, a welcoming committee with pots and pans awaits the president near the company he must visit + sounds of pots and pans. "

But what is spectacular is the attraction that the pot has managed to exert on the media drum. Wednesday, on BFM-TV, the return of advertising of the duo Alain Marshall - Olivier Truchot took place with the star utensil in hand: "Do not be ashamed next to us because that's what the president of the republic hears and that's what he will hear regularly. "

Yes yes, the duo of presenters has downright simmered us a small happening, and armed themselves with pots and pans on the set. An idea with little onions, for Yann Barthès, who hastened to copy it and bring it back, the next day, on his own tray: "And for the beginning, we start with the accessory a little trendy of this month of April: the pan! "

But when it comes to pots, I still think it was yesterday that we really hit rock bottom. Because while BFM-TV asked for nothing less than a frame, live and on set, around a totally essential question: "Bah we asked ourselves the question elsewhere: can we massively revive the pan industry that does not produce enough? Magalie Chalais, where is the pan industry in France? »

Meanwhile, therefore, a psychodrama, in the hair, around the pan, was taking place in the Cevennes. A sequence never seen, opposed a demonstrator, to a gendarme: "Ah, there is a pan there! Yes, two pots! Bah will have to remove them Madame! »

Can you imagine that a prefectural decree, nothing less, was simmered yesterday to prohibit the use of protest, of the pan: "We can not put the bowls down, is it? Can't we take the bowls? By prefectural decree, it is forbidden to have a pan »

But if the sequence made laugh some great zealots of the pan, it did not amuse the Elysee at all. Ulcerated by the frichti deleter and more cooked, at all, with the initiative of the police: "These images of seized pots do not please at all the Elysee who explains to us that the prefectural decree does not provide for banning pans but only portable sound devices. "

Well, otherwise, this week the media were still, a little, interested in these French who are more and more numerous to encounter difficulties to boil the pot: "What we allowed ourselves before in terms of chocolates, cakes, bah now we say that it is a luxury and suddenly we can no longer afford it, Inevitably we take the things that are vital. »

It must be said that inflation and industrialists have obviously put the small dishes in the big ones: "Illustration with sunflower oil which jumped by 30%, while the price of the ton of sunflower decreased by 55%. "

But it did not last long because the subject did not resist these images of President Macron, trapped by extremist militants and filmed, singing like a pan.

Finally, the Latin phrase: "in coda venenum", in the tail the venom, which means that the hardest is often for the end. Bruno Donnet will therefore end by quoting, here, the little message, that the actress Blanche Gardin posted last night on her FaceBook page. She explains that she refused to participate in the show "Lol, who laughs comes out" on the video platform of Amazon, which offered her 200,000 euros for a single day of shooting, because of the many pots and pans dragged by its owner Jeff Bezos, guilty, according to the actress, of not paying tax in France, polluting the planet, but also "to use the labor of the Uighur concentration camps".

Demonstration Philippe that the hardest, in the pan, it is not always the bottom, but indeed the tail.
