If Anne-Sophie Lapix has been trusted by her management for several years, some viewers are not always seduced by the former resident of TF1. During Emmanuel Macron’s last speech, the journalist was strongly criticized on Twitter: “If I were a journalist, I would cry with sadness listening to Anne-Sophie Lapix! This good friend of #BrigitteMacron, is of an INIMAGINABLE servility! Incapable of the slightest self-criticism vis-à-vis the words of the government, she is content to repeat what she is told!”, “When I hear Anne-Sophie Lapix’s tone in the 20 hours of @ France2tv after Emmanuel Macron’s speech, I tell myself that French public television has nothing to envy to that of certain dictatorships…“
And yet, in view of an article which has just appeared in Le Monde, it is difficult to imagine the journalist so complacent as that with the action of the Head of State. Indeed, our colleagues explain that:The public service does not have good press in the presidential entourage, where the 8 p.m. news by Anne-Sophie Lapix is considered too critical and declinist. In the spring of 2021, Gabriel Attal, had met Laurent Guimier (the news director of France Télévisions, editor’s note), allowing himself to slip him ideas for programs“
Laurent Guimier nevertheless seems very satisfied with the journalist in whom he fully trusts. “Me, I like continuity, I like things to settle down. I have enormous confidence in what Anne-Sophie Lapix does, including in what she does on the Presidential, since she was given a major political interview (8:22 p.m., editor’s note). In this exercise too she is perfect. So I can’t answer you. […] When I install a project, it works, and the atmosphere is good, there is no reason to change things“, he explained recently on the set of Buzz TV for Le Figaro Tv Magazine.
