Presidential 2027: CNews, both essential and unapproachable for candidates

A petition to close CNews has gathered over 1 million signatures, prompting the National Assembly to discuss it on November 10. CNews, owned by Vincent Bolloré, faces accusations of being a propaganda tool for the far-right. The debate is unlikely to lead to significant action, but it highlights a dilemma for presidential candidates regarding engagement with Bolloré's media outlets. The left is divided on whether to participate in these platforms, with La France insoumise (LFI) recently shifting to support a boycott of CNews, confirming they will no longer appear on the channel.
