Controversy[edit]

According to satirical and investigative media Le Canard Enchaîné and leftist activist group Sleeping Giants France, CNews, owned by Groupe Bolloré and Vincent Bolloré, clearly supports conservative and far-right journalists, who are promoting racist discourse. Éric Zemmour, in particular, was condemned on 17 September 2020, for racial hatred.[6] With its promotion of ideas of the extreme right, and spreading so-called conspiracy theories, the channel has been described as a French version of Fox News.[7]

Viewership[edit]

A 2021 CSA poll for the channel found that 27% of its viewers identified with the left, 9% with the centre and 24% with the right, 9% identified with Marine Le Pen far-right National Rally party. A total of 40% of viewers either did not identify with a party or did not say.[8]
