The petition to "remove CNews from French broadcasting" is buried by the National Assembly

The French National Assembly's cultural affairs committee rejected a petition to remove CNews from French broadcasting, despite it surpassing one million signatures. 28 deputies voted to dismiss the petition, while 25 wanted a public debate. The petition gained traction after a racist attack in Trappes on October 23. Although it reached 500,000 signatures by November 2, the committee opted not to hold a debate, which would have been non-binding.
