L'Heure des pros 2" show to be broadcast on October 27, 2021: CNews warned

Arcom was alerted following the diffusion in the program L'Heure des pros 2, shown on CNews on October 27, 2021, of an infographic purporting to illustrate the results of an opinion survey carried out by the Harris Interactive institute concerning voters' voting intentions for the first round of the 2022 presidential election.

She noted, firstly, that the infographic presented on air featured three of the candidates in the Les Républicains party primary, whereas the polling institute had not envisaged their simultaneous candidacies, and, secondly, that the infographic had been entitled " Présidentielle : E. Zemmour en hausse ", whereas this personality had been credited with strictly identical voting intentions in the three previous weekly waves of the institute's barometer.

It considered that such a presentation constituted a breach of the publisher's obligations of honesty and rigor in the treatment of information.

As a result, the Authority warned the channel's publisher against the repetition of such breaches of the provisions of the deliberation of April 18, 2018 relating to the honesty and independence of news and the programs that contribute to it.
