Arcom has been alerted to the sequences devoted to the war in Ukraine, shown on May 10 and June 29, 2022 in the program Bercoff dans tous ses états on Sud Radio and Sud Radio+.

Under the provisions of article 1 of the deliberation of April 18, 2018 relating to the honesty and independence of news and programs that contribute to it: " (...) It (the publisher) ensures respect for an honest presentation of controversial issues, in particular by ensuring the expression of different points of view by journalists, female presenters, hosts or on-air contributors ".

It noted that a number of biased statements had been made on air, without any real contradiction, even though the subject was particularly sensitive and required the expression of different, or at least nuanced, points of view.

The diffusion of this sequence constitutes a breach of the aforementioned obligations arising from article 1 of the deliberation of April 18, 2018.

Consequently, the Authority has warned the service editor against repeating such a breach.
