Response to this claim

The ideological discourse that leads people to plan attacks against an enemy within is also made on television sets such as BFMTV's.

“On BFM, I pointed to the immense responsibility of the media. (Translated from French. Original: Sur BFM, j'ai rappelé la responsabilité immense des médias.)”

Why we used this label

The case concerns whether BFMTV let racist remarks go unchallenged on air before the Trappes attack, as its critics say. Rabeh holds the channel responsible for letting stigmatizing remarks about Trappes be said on air, remarks he says have dramatic consequences, which condemns the conduct under scrutiny.
