French news channel CNews was fined \u20ac100,000 (R2million) on Wednesday for broadcasting discriminatory content targetting Algerians and Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France’s audiovisual regulator Arcom imposed several fines totalling \u20ac100,000 over two segments aired in 2025 that it said could incite discrimination against Muslims and Algerians, according to daily Ouest France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcom judged that the two segments from the channel\u2019s L\u2019heure des pros program \u201cencourage discriminatory behavior, on the one hand by equating the presence of Algerian nationals in France [\u2026] with a major public safety risk” and on the other hand by associating \u201call Palestinians with the perpetrators\u201d of the October 7 incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond these rulings, Arcom also reportedly recalled that it had previously issued formal warnings to CNews over earlier broadcasts deemed problematic and strongly urged the channel to ensure \u201cit does not encourage discriminatory behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
