CNews (stylized as CNEWS, formerly I-Télé) is a French free-to-air news channel launched on 4 November 1999 by Canal+ Group. It provides 24-hour national and global news coverage. It is the second most watched news network in France, after BFM TV and before LCI and France Info. i>Télé was renamed CNews on 27 February 2017.

Controversy

According to satyrical and investigating media "Le Canard Enchaîné" and leftist activists 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. Éric Zemmour, in particular, was condemned on 17 September 2020, for racial hatred.[4] 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.[5]

Viewership

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.[6]
