- The French far right may have been defeated at the polls, but much of the press remains sympathetic to Marine Le Pen’s National Rally. How will the incoming left-wing coalition navigate a hostile media and a hung parliament?

Israel has maintained its onslaught on Gaza, attacking schools, killing journalists and ordering all citizens of Gaza City to leave their homes.

A very good report on the situation in France : le lobby est contre M Mélenchon , vive les droits des Palestiniens.
as a south African, i had no idea what was happening right under our noses, this opened my eyes so much
I hope your gov doesn’t allow him to buy a South African media group, or he’s gonna rule over the whole world one day…
And as he’s a zi0 who definitely doesn’t give a S about human’s lives… he would be capable of restarting an apartheid regime again !
believe me I’m from France an he’s a real danger ! ( in only a few year he managed to corrupt politicians and bribe journalists to change the narrative of all the mainstream media including the press, so no wonder more and more people became rac!st!
The bollore group has accumulated 7.2 million euros of fine by the French media regulator but he doesn’t care and continues doing whatever pleases him, he’s got the money and is backed by the government anyway ! So good luck with that!
Leftism forever
There should be a crackdown on media ownership by these billionaires.
By who.
Another Billionaire
@@uromvictor By the governments
@@znyooom So we need government media? Okay Big Brother...😂
@@xanderx2523 No? How are misunderstanding this so badly?
It's the government's job to make sure that independent media is not biased. That's the only way. You cannot have one biased billionaire be regulated by another biased billionaire. The only entity that has any claim to this job is the government. If the country is a democracy, and the government is a representation of the will of the people, then, through the government, the media will remain unbaised through the will of the people or the media will reflect the biases of the people instead of a single billionaire.
If the billionaires are Russians we call them Oligarchs....they are French Oligarchs
If governments won't do their job and check their friends, the billionaires, then it's going to fall to citizens to step in and handle both of them.
It cannot happen too soon.
imagine that. a french citizen refusing to condemn the colonized for figthing back
i admire him a bit more. he reminds me of victor hugo
I have issues with your sentence. As if French citizens couldn't refuse colonised people for fighting back. What gives ?
Well hes literally condemming his fellow french for fighting back.
@@Nerwesta you are correct. that was a poor use of sarcasm. i should have said a modern french politician
after all, even victor hugo told us mexicans to kill as many imperial soldiers as possible
i got nothing agiqnst the french
@@brojwz2314 how is he doing that??
@@jakepistolero no worries, thanks for explaining. I agree it's a rare sight on French politicians ✌️
Obviously, all the industries that have the power to control or effect the lives of millions of people materially and intellectually need to be DE-PRIVATIZED and restricted from private ownership.
Colonization through journalism. Times change, the morals don't.
Thanks for showing to the Free World French Fascism. Brilliant documentary
Shout-out to whoever made the anti-NR banner with Porco Rosso on it. That is someone with taste, and a very clear message for those who know.
It is famous in France ^^
As a Brit I thought the French media wasn't as rabid as ours- like the Mail, Express et al. Clearly I was very wrong.
The mainstream media is similar in UK and certainly US. Billionaire owners need to be made illegal and state media needs to be properly regulated and democratically responsible to the people.
lol you mean like in Russia and china where all media is control by the government and it used a tool to help government agendas and help to cover up corruption? Yea that will work very well😅
As a South African I always find it shocking to learn about what is happening in my country from international media houses. Our Journalists are water down and can never report on such development
Superb coverage, as usual.
we need to either democratize news groups or nationalize them, either way, they yearn for regulation
From France, it's unbelievable that al Jazeera seems to have a better understanding of the political situation in my country than all french mainstrean media.
1:31 excuse me but can someone honestly explain why Mélenchon is a “controversial leader”.
He is controversial for mainstream media because he is a leftist actually
Because many people say that
Simply because he's left wing and the media is owned amd run by fascist billionaires.
for some he yells too much, for others he's too radical and some even says that he's antisemitic (him and his party La France insoumise)
He’s very criticized by his opponents. (Right and far right) But also by the left. He’s seen as authoritative, too violent in his words, too radical by some and recently they called him an antisemite (because of Palestine). He’s been on the political scene for a very long time and he tends to create scandal. He’s one of the few who stands his ground firmly on very controversial topics in France (such as police brutality , islamophobia and more recently Palestine.) That is the main reason why he’s the target of critics and controversy.
Thank you so much for this clear point of view of what's happening in France. Shame to see racism, hate and ignorance rising so quickly and so hard in my country.
Support and love for Gaza.
Yes , bowing to the right and centrists views, and condemning Hamas like they demand is bound to fix things , because they really care about anti-semitism.
Quelle honte, pour les médias et journalistes français, que ce soit aux médias étrangers de décrire fidèlement la réalité française.
Très bon reportage. complet
"Honesty of journalism"
I was really anguish during all this election.
I love my country, France, and I can't accept it will become a France of racism, antisemitism, of antiLGBT+, a France...where the poor become more and more numerous and poorest and poorest during the riche become more more rich.
and so on...
Liberté, Egalite, Fraternité...its not just somes words...they have to be a reality in France as in other countries in the world...
This is France I can be proud, I can love.
Hand in hand with others people and countries for peace and prosperity...for all.
They can have all the media they want, Unite People will win.
No pasaram.
How influential is the right wing media in the West?
Very little, they're lying here. Most rightwing influence is online.
Sadly, not influental at all
Very, they have dominated government policy here in Australia. However, thier power is getting waning due to decline in print media. Murdoch owns majority of our paper. Runs them at a loss but weilds tremendous policial power for the most part. Orchestrated the replacement of our last few Prime Ministers.
@@Politico995 What are you talking about? Australia is as leftist as you can get without becoming communist.
Pretty influencial unfortunately, people are brainwashed by stupid mainstream media
Great show today, Meena, Richard and team!
Thanks for your insight.
Said by Al Jazeera 😂
And?
You seem to be lacking arguments, my friend. Or do you like to be a sheep of oligarchs?
@@billcarson818 I too busy for an argument. Al Jazeera is a Muslim brotherhood media.
Vive la Palestine! Vive la Commune!
As a French guy, it's amusing to me how this guy rolls the R's in French names. Makes him sound like an older French Canadian or Cajun.
Al Jazeera should be one of the last places to talk about democracy.
Interesting reporting
Crazies ruling a country 😢😢
The Media will decide
20 million voted for the right and by 2027 50 milllion will be the vote for far right
Hahaha… they don’t the numbers🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Fake information. Today only about 43 millions of people have the right to vote in France. How 50 millions could vote only for the right wing in 2027?
Zelensky as putin😂
No ways.. he's old
J.L Mélanchon has condemned Hamas again and again but he had not used the exact wording other want. Calling what happened on Oct7th a horrendous war crime istead of a terrorist attack like mainstream media as if one is better than the other. But using the term war means that there are 2 "people" fighting when a terrorist attack makes it look like innocent people have been attacked out of nowhere and for no reasons. It depends on if you think that everything started on Oct7th or if you choose to look at the full contest and not ignoring the many deaths before Oct7th. So what is blamed on him still in July 2024 is to not ONLY focus on Oct 7th 2023 . What is blame on him is to care for the Israelien people deaths but not only them. How dare he brings palestinians death as well? That's what truly bothers them. His party is the only one talking about what is going on in gaza now and the current daily death of thousands of innocent men, women, children as well as the full destruction of gaza.
Only 25% of people voted for the 'left', 37% voted for the 'far right' and then the remainder voted for 'centrists' and 'conservatives'. I do wonder how many of the centrist/conservative voters would prefer RN over the Popular Front. So to say the French public "rejected" RN when they had the highest vote share of any party and their share of the national vote increased by 20% would be inaccurate in my opinion. The RN made big progress but just not enough for an absolute majority, that would be more accurate to say.
Well. They were first on first turn, and as you said, centrists voters turned left (and leftist turned center) whenever the RN was on the verge of winning.
At the end, most electors voted against the RN.
West take alle from Africa but give them propaganda
Who is the fastest French media any four American media ok nothing for you

No news about superjet crashed?
@@Hkchinese888 On your head?
@@VictorCremer-ef8cl what’s your point?
Jihadi media talking about secularism of journalism. Thanks Al jihadi news for this comic piece
Its Aljazeera News that the Listening Post represents, Aljazeera is a broad based News Outlet.
Terrorist supporter al Jazeera
@@aneurindavies5943 Qatar deported independent journalists because they were telling the truth how the undemocratic Qatari rulers were exploiting the poor migrants. Yet they talk about secularism and human rights hence its funny
The absolute irony of an Islamic network for a country that is radically fascist , calling a democratic party in France "far right"
Your old comments are visible. You were obviously hired to be a troll here.
if Aljazeera say it wrong then you should know it is be the best....
Aljazeera and its funders supports multiculturalism and illegal migrants into Europe... but for the middle east their turn changes. Then its Muslim lands.
Right Wing troll
Literally every other part of the political spectrum had to join together to stop them winning. Hardly a rejection, more of last minute moving of the goalposts.
what's wrong with the racist iseas of LePen? France for the French
It's wrong because the problem is not the migrants, it's the oligarchs
With decent western foreign policies, there wouldn't be so many immigrants.
@captainpawpawchannel the -j- oligarchs fear the migrants. Dislike their ability to vote.
And yet, the far right can"'t stop themselves proposing african candidates, like Zemmour and Bardella.
If even the far right can't stop reccouring to citizen of african descent, why crying about the rest of the political sphere doing it too ?
Why can't the far right try to apply the motto '' France to the French'' first ?
Could you please define a French ? What makes someone french when on isn't ?
French rejects the Far right ? (11 millions votes)...Left and Far-left (7 Millions) and Center and Far-center (6 Millions) at the first round of the parliamentary election : not quite a rejection. As often ; your report is biased. And considering the press and the medias in general : 80 % of journalists are from the left. Public medias are completely far left leaning; most of the others Macron's leaning and there is just one media (Bolloré) where the RN can express itself freely.
The media, "far left leaning"? What utter BS.
Liberalism isn't really true leftism. Just because they espouse some progressive social policies doesn't mean they hold leftist views on economics and foreign policy.
"Far-center" 😂
I don't know why pro-Islamist media sources are categorised as "left-wing" in western society. A religious fundamentalist movement would fit the category of "right-wing" usually but the labels used in western political discourse are not very useful and deliberately confusing.
LE RN 9 MILLIONS ET LE FRONT GAUCHE 9 MILLIONS, ARRÊTER DE RACONTER DES CONNERIES🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
@ilikevines. It's all part of labelling anything the media doesn't like as 'left', 'communist', etc.
Qatar have no right to comment on
THEY DIT IT
The guy who hosts this show needs to give up the serious grim stare and RETIRE! Let that Indian woman run this show!
Don't be so shallow it's the content not style
Everything the news presenter said was wrong lmao
Far right very common in my country Malaysia but somehow its racism in europe. Nothing wrong country give priority to native French and control immigration. Most Asian and middle east countries do the same thing. For example, in my country Malaysia, they give priorities to Islam and Malay, rest enjoy some freedom as long its not against Islam and Malay interest. Its understandable sinve they sons of soil. What wrong Europe have similar things. Quickly labelled as white racist, christian supremacy bla bla. Only thing Frence need to fix is their love to Israel. Conservative values not a bad thing. Right left is bullshit. Its how you protect local culture, its native is important. Even Qatar also is right or conservative for your europe standard
L'extrême-droite en France ce sont ceux qui ont collaboré avec le nazisme. Le fondateur Jean-Marie Le Pen a pratiqué la torture pendant la guerre d'Algérie, s'est moqué des chambres à gaz.
Far left is even worsen
The far left is quite minor in France.
NPA is the only far left party who made it into the New Popular Front.
And nobody is getting beaten up by marxists in France, contrary to the far right when they have an electoral victory.
The party being called far right is nothing of the sort, while the people being called ‘left’ are in many cases clearly far left.
Far right in France means "center-left", there is no right at all here.
N'importe quoi 😂
Le RN est l'équivalent de l'extrême gauche dans d'autres pays, réveille toi.
Ah yes, the famous ''center-left'' with neo-nazis, islamist collaborators and colonial apologists in its ranks.
It’s not a real bloc lmao. It’s just a bunch of parties stuffed together. France has failed lmao
