In France, you have to agree with the Americans.
It’s against the law to disagree with American policy on gay sex, wars, “the Holocaust,” and abortion.
The French media regulator has fined the conservative channel CNews €100,000 for, during a Catholic programme, saying that abortion is the world’s leading cause of death. The episode reveals the extent to which the debate on abortion is deadlocked in France.In February 2024, presenter Aymeric Pourbaix, during the Catholic programme “En quête d’esprit,” broadcast every Sunday on the conservative channel CNews, showed an infographic on the causes of death, ranking abortion as the leading cause, with 73 million deaths each year worldwide. That translates to 52% of annual deaths, far ahead of cancer (10 million) and smoking (6.2 million).
The thing that got them in trouble
The journalist’s comments sparked a wave of indignation in the mainstream press, on the grounds that abortion cannot be considered a “cause of death” because the foetus should not be considered a living being.Violent criticism was levelled at the CNews channel, owned by Catholic businessman Vincent Bolloré, prompting an investigation into the channel in the following weeks. The channel was accused of being dangerous and of broadcasting biased information—in other words, contrary to the canons of progressive thought. The alleged scandalous nature of the comments made by Pourbaix justified, according to the Minister Delegate for Health at the time, the inclusion of the right to abortion in the French constitution, which was achieved a few months later.
The violence of the attacks forced the channel to backtrack and apologise for what was presented as a handling ‘error’: the computer graphics should never have been broadcast on screen. On X, the channel was even asked to apologise “for the people who may have been hurt by this infographic.”
After several months of proceedings, the French media regulatory authority Arcom has fined CNews €100,000 for this episode. According to Arcom, the broadcaster failed in its “obligation of honesty and rigour in the presentation and processing of information.”
It’s so sickening the way these Europeans attack Americans and at the same time they follow all of the most sickening and degrading American social trends.
Except the obesity. I guess we have to give them that. But it is just so goofy that these Europeans have such a bizarre inferiority complex where they feel like they are only really living the correct life if they copy America.
They would be better off following the Taliban and beating the living shit out of these whores.
