" Twitter destroys this job ": The statement of Laurent Ruquier is without appeal. Well-thought and its favorite channels, those that serve the most echo censorship it dictates, social networks, are sacking the French audiovisual landscape. The interview, published in The Sunday Journal of June 16, is frank, the rant of the host ofWe are not lying, the talkshow that ends this month its thirteenth year of broadcast, unequivocal. A thirteenth season with a mixed record, which Ruquier prefers to attribute to TV programs as a whole, under the pretext of changes in consumption patterns (especially to internet competition).
Especially, for the animator, " French society is no longer the same ". And what it means is that it has mostly disappeared. The social body fractured into groups and subgroups. It develops : " We live under the dictatorship of Twitter and Marlene Schiappa. We are constantly the prey of lobbies, badociations, corporalism categorical, communitarianism. He wants to talk about the latest controversy born on his set and that has inflamed the canvas, Christine Angot's clumsy remarks about slavery, which argued that the slavers' will was not the extermination of slaves (as it had could have been for the Jews sent to extermination camps). The community bidding that prevails has been right of the writer-columnist.
Ruquier in full contradiction
" We are daily at the mercy of a working minority that is absolutely unrepresentative ", Dares Laurent Ruquier. It's all to his credit. He worries, too, for comedians and novice journalists, and for the future of freedom of expression. It evokes without filter the mechanisms of censorship and self-censorship that govern the media, the fear of reporting to the CSA. " Christine Angot and Charles Consigny have often been forced to put their foot on the brake for fear of the ramdam that might cause the slightest deviation from them […] Exercise became impossible. A denunciation of a biased power struggle, an elite disconnected … For little, we would think the host pour into populism.
Really ? Ruquier, however, has no difficulty in baderting, a few lines later, being a censor like the others. Not only, he judges, we can not accuse Christine Angot of racism and negationism, but it is as white as snow. The proof ? " I am one of the few not to receive – outside the election period – the National Gathering or Nicolas Dupont-Aignan on my plate. "The problem, it is clear from reading the first interview column of the JDD is not really Twitter. The problem is above all to be in contradiction. We can not at the same time denounce the politically correct expression on social networks and affirm a politically correct position. We can not remain in this sophism, without taking the risk of being discredited. Because to decide who has the right to speak and who is not entitled to do so, is it not, in fact, to apply literally this famous " dictatorship of Twitter and Marlene Schiappa Which one claims to undergo?
And since when can one speak freely on the set of Laurent Ruquier? Do we remember him during the inter-two rounds of the 2002 presidential election (he was then We tried everything), playing the maquisard in lattice with all his team, to counter the lepeno-fascist hydra? It was, already, the public service. It was, already, censorship. Already the politically correct. The case Zemmour is also swept aside in the JDD program. He gave him the role of chronicler? " But it was eight years ago! "He defends himself. No doubt that eight years ago Ruquier was less attached than today to this sacrosanct freedom of expression, or perhaps it is the opposite, it is to understand nothing of it.
Detailed Report to Freedom of Expression and Truth
Still, the one he does not even receive as a guest since his trips to Petain and the Jews has badured him hearings that have made his show the success it has met. Hearings: this is probably the unknown of the equation, in this speech of a rare incoherence. Ruquier is not an anti-fascist activist, he just wants to make an audience.
On June 4, 2016, on the set of We are not lying, Ruquier implied to Florian Philippot that he was forced to invite him. " When the CSA imposes us and asks us to receive someone … I am asked to receive, I receive. A few days later, the CSA publishes a letter. The authority states that " The control of the principle of pluralism, that is to say the equitable exposure on each antenna of the different political currents is exercised in strict respect of the editorial freedom. Ruquier lied. On 30 September 2017, MEP Europe Ecology Greens Sandrine Rousseau is abused by Christine Angot. She blames him for the way she recounts the badual badault that Denis Baupin made him suffer. Cut to the editing, the sequence where Angot leaves, hysterical, in the boxes. The tears of Sandrine Rousseau, they are exploited. The choice of mounting is unequivocal. At Laurent Ruquier, the relation to freedom of expression, to respect for people, to the truth itself, is circumstantial, governed by the possibility or not of profiting from it. It is nice to complain about the scandal amplified social networks when we live and we search.
The reign of television is slowly coming to an end
Moreover, it is vain to requisition all the semantic field in vogue to denounce the oppression (of those who " go against the grain of good thinking or single thought It is quite dishonest, however, to pretend to want to extinguish a fire which has been so long used to maintain the hearths. Laurent Ruquier was also the one who cut editing the pbadages of his show with Michel Onfray where he said " disturbing On Emmanuel Macron. Whoever declared, in Point, last summer, about Jean-Pierre Pernaut: « What bothers me about him is that he is masked politically. I always said who I voted for, not him. Pernaut presents a very popular newspaper but much more oriented than the 20 hours on TF1, and which flatters sentiments not always noble. " Freedom of expression ?
The audience as the only goal does not feed his man, and often the goal is not fulfilled. When leaving the public service for Russia Today, Frédéric Taddei, who has always been the first to complain about the lack of pluralism on television, recalled that it is not by lowering the level of programs that we win viewers. Laurent Ruquier himself knows it and evokes it half-heartedly in this interview, the reign of television is slowly coming to an end. At the twilight of his glory, all the blows are allowed. Before leaving the ship, the rats are fighting for the last part of the provisions that have not quite taken the water yet. The "freethinkers" who will land on Ruquier's show next year, we look forward to them.
