Éric Zemmour: “If we continue like this, Apolline de Malherbe, in 20 years, your daughter will not be able to go out without a veil”
A counter prophecy served without the slightest contradiction from the BFMTV journalist, who welcomes Zemmour’s Islamophobic and identity obsessions as if they were credible analyses: the stage becomes a highway offered to his scenarios of collective panic, designed to hysterize public opinion and stir up the idea of a permanent ethnic clash. And during this time, this multiple person convicted of inciting hatred benefits from astonishing media complacency: despite his convictions, he continues to be invited as a respectable expert, spreading an ideology of rejection and segregation that we still dare to present as a simple “point of view”.
This treatment is not an accident: it is an editorial choice. The 24-hour news channels know exactly what they are doing. They nourish it, enhance it, offer it the platform that transforms prejudices into “diagnoses” and the stigmatization of a part of the population into a profitable spectacle. By dint of handing the microphone to those who designate internal enemies, we transform the media space into an echo chamber of racism — then we are surprised, with our hands on our hearts, at the rise of hatred in the country.
