Friday, January 20, Julian Bugier took the lead of the 1 p.m. news on France 2. An edition presented in front of millions of viewers like every day but which did not please everyone. Indeed, several internet users took the floor to scold the journalist.
“It’s been a long time since France 2 has been a TV newspaper but a magazine of selected news. I don’t watch anymore!”, “I hardly have the opportunity to watch anymore, but the imitation of Pernaut’s JT is flagrant in the point of being distressing!”, “This 13h newspaper from France2 breaks all records for mediocrity”, “Frankly I stay on the news of the 2 by habit of the public service but I have the impression of watching the 1 now…”, “Just a speaker! He only does what he is told to do. Lay down, my dog!”, “The 1 p.m. is appalling, degree zero of journalism for a long time. And every day, a column to explain to the poor how one lives without money. To vomit”, “Guard dog”could we read.
The 1 p.m. of @France2tv in minimum service on the huge mobilization against the pension reform yesterday. For @JulianBugier it doesn’t deserve more than 2’18 (to hear disgruntled police and firefighters). On the other hand, a 3’35 report on the country! JP Pernaut, get out of this body! pic.twitter.com/bGcTubLw8g

But it is this comment that triggered the response of the principal concerned: “The 1 p.m. of France 2 in minimum service on the huge mobilization against the pension reform yesterday. For Julian Bugier it does not deserve more than 2’18 (to hear disgruntled police and firefighters). On the other hand, report of 3’35 on the country! JP Pernaut, get out of this body!”
Julian Bugier opted for irony: “We devoted 20 minutes to it in our newspaper yesterday – with a special page! You have to be careful”. In addition, he was able to count on support such as this message: “You did well to answer that, I have the impression that people don’t pay attention to what you say, I would add Julian is very professional and all the subjects are covered. Congratulations to you and don’t pay attention to those who criticize you”.
