The Coverage Of Protests By French Media.
The death of a 17-year-old teenager at the hands of police forces sparked protests across France. The French police union calls the protesters “thugs and thugs” and the French president considers video games and social networks such as Tik Tok to be the cause of young people’s incitement. In the space outside the official tribunes, the media and famous figures play a complementary role for the French police-security apparatus by calling people to avoid violence and advising families to keep their children at home. In other words, the general public of influential people in French society, while expressing criticism, instead of inviting different classes of society to revolution and rebellion, ask them to avoid violent acts and damage to public property.
On Sunday, July 2, 2023, “France 24” news agency highlighted the news of the attack on the house of Vincent Jeanbron, one of the mayors of the suburbs of Paris, reflecting the condemnation of this action by the French Prime Minister. Describing the incident as “shocking,” Elizabeth Bourne said: “We will not allow any violence to go unpunished.” In this news line, “France 24” is trying to create a “victim” image of the government forces and prepare the public opinion for massive suppression of the protesters.
