Once upon a time in a university near you, in-person teaching was a thing, as you can see in this image of 1612. Young people with hats came together, regularly and voluntarily, prepared for classes, and enjoying a lively learning situation of *checks notes*, a 90 minutes monolog of someone else ...

Bilan de la semaine pour CNews :

Trois sanctions validées en justice pour des violations graves de ses obligations légales & conventionnelles.

- 50 000 € pour propos discriminatoires visant les étrangers
- 60 000 € pour incitation à la haine & à la discrimination
- 6 000 € pour complotisme

CQFD.
Audiovisuel : Le Conseil d'Etat valide aussi une sanction de CNews (6 000 €) pour un discours complotiste en matière climatique.

Plus précisément, des propos « grossièrement erronés & manifestement non conformes aux données acquises de la science ».

Toujours sans contradiction.

Audiovisuel : Une énième sanction de CNews (60 000 €) validée par le Conseil d'Etat.

Deux « chroniqueurs » ont affirmé que l'« immigration tue », incitant ainsi à la haine & à la discrimination envers tous les étrangers.

Le tout, sans aucun débat, ni contradiction à l'antenne.
