Arcom was alerted about the program "L'heure des pros", broadcast on the CNews channel on November 12, 2025, during which a message published by Radio France and France Télévisions was mentioned, seeking to correct remarks made by a journalist during the program "Questions politiques" broadcast on November 9, 2025 on France Inter and franceinfo TV, on the occasion of the interview with LFI MP Manuel Bompard, concerning the election of the new mayor of New York.

Meeting as a college on April 15, 2026, Arcom deliberated.

Arcom considered that the corrective message published by France Télévisions and Radio France, intended to correct several factual errors actually broadcast during the "Questions politiques" program, could not be interpreted as reflecting any form of subservience or lack of independence with regard to a political current.

Arcom therefore considered that the critical and unfounded on-air presentation of this corrective message failed to meet the requirements of honesty and rigor imposed on the channel in the treatment of information.

Consequently, Arcom has asked the channel to ensure, in future, compliance with the provisions of article 1 of the deliberation of April 18, 2018 relating to the honesty and independence of information and the programs that contribute to it.
