Controversy
According to satyrical and investigating media "Le Canard Enchaîné" and activits group "Sleeping Giants France", CNews, owned by Groupe Bolloré and Vincent Bolloré, is clearly supporting conservative and far-right journalists, who are promoting racist discourses. Eric Zemmour, in particular, was condemned on 17th september 2020, for racial hatred.[1]
