Yesterday, Wednesday October 12, France 2 completely turned its programs upside down to make way for an exceptional interview with the Head of State. In a new program called “L’Événement”, Emmanuel Macron sifted through questions from Caroline Roux. It must be said that the journalist went out of her way to get this face-to-face interview. Caroline Roux did her Caroline Roux: she took matters into her own hands and went to get this interview with her teeth. She explained to him that it would be great if he did a program on public service. For her, there was no possible plan B. To stick to the promise of the show to make the event, it was absolutely necessary to win Macron”explains France Télévisions to journalists from Telerama.
With her editor-in-chief, the journalist managed to land an interview in two evenings. Something to delight his management. “We didn’t want a long catch-all show, where we go from the nuclear threat to the price of flour and where we risk losing viewers along the way”, justifies a member of the team. “Caroline Roux was at the maneuver from start to finish to convince Macron “, we whisper to France Télévisions. According to Télérama, the choice of this interlocutor suited the head of state who “deems her credible.” “He knows that she does not let go, without being aggressive”.
If the show has also worked rather well with more than five million viewers, the performance of Caroline Roux has pleased some but less to others. Internet users found the 50-year-old journalist a little too restless. “Really annoying Caroline Roux, in a permanent state of agitation, obviously much more interested in her own questions than in the president’s answers.”, “Could Caroline Roux listen to the president’s answers and stop interrupting him, she’s unbearable, there’s Lapix in her.”, “Can someone tell Ms. @Caroline_Roux to let the president speak? It’s him we want to hear, not her! Thank you @France2tv“.
