Cancellation of Éric Zemmour on BFMTV and internal tensions
On October 25, 2026, the broadcast of a program featuring Éric Zemmour scheduled on BFMTV is canceled, with the reasons for this cancellation being debated. The same day, La France insoumise accuses the channel of allowing racist comments to flourish, which BFMTV contests by denouncing a "smear campaign". On October 26, Robert Ménard criticizes this cancellation, while a BFMTV presenter corrects Louis Boyard live on the issue of racism. Journalists from the channel then express their discomfort after a tense weekend. On November 1, a senior reporter from BFMTV describes the working conditions of journalists in the field.
