The vagaries of live… This Wednesday, December 13, 2023, France 3 Champagne-Ardenne broadcast its usual television news. Unfortunately, everything did not go as planned. “Men by day and women by night”declares the presenter in full 12/13. “Eric, Christophe and Dylan are transformists in a cabaret in the Marne”, she explains while images of Sultan Al-Jaber, who chairs COP28 in Dubai, flash on the screen. A blunder which did not fail to make viewers react.
On X, formerly Twitter, many of them pointed the finger at the channel. “Hahaha, the magneto error at 12/13 in Champagne-Ardenne, I’m crying”, wrote a user. And another to add: “It’s a collector’s item!” Or : “Thanks for the laugh!”
We also had a good laugh, to err is human… https://t.co/KBxRlJ9ouD

France Info in turmoil
The same day, France Info also encountered a problem in the middle of the morning. Indeed, Jean-Baptiste Marteau received Dorian Dreuil, political scientist, expert associated with the Jean Jaurès Foundation and member of the Observatory of Political Life, on the set of his show. A meeting during which viewers heard a suspicious noise.
Faced with multiple reactions, the main person concerned was forced to justify himself. “Ok, many of you are worried about my health (at least). I reassure you everything is fine because it is obviously not a fart! Available for an analysis of the gurgling on a double page in ‘Le Parisien’ Benoît Daragon”, he tweeted. An answer that did not convince Internet users…
