Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's Petition for CNews closure and anti-CNews mobilizations.

Left-wing and center media both cover the petition and its success, but the left links it more to protesters' criticism of media coverage and the Bolloré group's role, while the center focuses on signature figures and the call for Arcom action.

Left

Highlights protesters' anti-CNews placards, accusations of disinformation and of rolling out the "red carpet" for the far right, as well as Green MPs' demands to withdraw accreditation for Bolloré group media.

Centre

Emphasizes the explosion in the number of signatures (more than 200,000 then 300,000) and the denunciation of the channel's excesses with a call to Arcom, using the expression "propaganda machine".

Right

No coverage from this side.

Common points

=A petition on the National Assembly website calls for the suppression or banning of CNews
=The number of signatures has sharply increased in a few hours
=The channel is attached to the Bolloré group
=The 500,000-signature threshold would allow a debate in the chamber

Divergences

≠The left highlights mobilizations and hostile placards against CNews as well as coverage of the high school and social movement; this angle does not appear in center articles
≠The left cites the two Green MPs demanding withdrawal of accreditation for Bolloré group media; the center does not mention this demand
≠The center mentions a call to Arcom and the expression "propaganda machine"; these elements do not appear in the left-wing excerpts
