Overview

• L’Incorrect published an additional clip showing Thomas Legrand discussing inviting Laurent Berger on France Inter to boost his profile and joking about the value of airtime.
• Legrand defended himself on TMC’s Quotidien, calling the excerpt filmed and edited, describing it as journalistic jargon, and saying he would do the same again in a more discreet setting.
• France Inter has suspended Legrand from his weekly programme, though he continues to be identified as a commentator at the broadcaster.
• Legrand and Patrick Cohen plan to file complaints against X and L’Incorrect over the recording and dissemination of the videos.
• Arcom announced work to clarify impartiality obligations for public broadcasters and will conduct a study of public perceptions in response to the controversy.
