Cancellation of Éric Zemmour's appearance on BFMTV and internal tensions

On 25 October 2026, BFMTV cancels the broadcast of a scheduled program with Éric Zemmour, the reasons for this cancellation sparking debate. The same day, La France insoumise accuses the channel of allowing racist remarks to flourish, notably via Éric Zemmour, which BFMTV denounces as "unfounded accusations". On 26 October, Robert Ménard criticises this cancellation, while a BFMTV presenter rebukes Louis Boyard live on air over racism. Finally, BFMTV journalists express their unease after a weekend of tensions surrounding the media coverage of the Trappes attack.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the same dispute between BFMTV and La France insoumise, but while the left emphasises the accusations of racism and internal unease, the right favours the angle of Zemmour's "censorship" and the defence of the channel, and the centre focuses on the journalists' experience and the reasons for the cancellation.

Left

Highlights the accusations of racism made by LFI (Mélenchon, Boyard) against BFMTV and the channel's response denouncing a "denigration campaign". Also underscores the stance of the channel's unions on "unapologetic racism" having "free rein" on air, in the context of a racist attack in the Yvelines.

Centre

Focuses coverage on the unease of BFMTV journalists after a weekend of tensions and on the reasons for Éric Zemmour's cancellation, with an explanatory angle.

Right

Presents the cancellation as a "censorship" of Éric Zemmour under pressure from the left, and highlights the channel's defence: the rebuking of Louis Boyard by Loïc Besson, criticism from Robert Ménard, and Zemmour's reaction accusing BFMTV of having yielded.
