Racist and anti-Semitic television channels: CRIF’s response

On this occasion, Michel Boyon recalled that the CSA exists to safeguard the respect for the dignity of human beings in programmes made available to the public via audiovisual communication services and, on the other hand, to ensure that the programmes do not contain any incitement to hatred or violence for reasons of race, gender, lifestyle, religion or nationality (1).

Richard Prasquier and Marc Knobel thanked Michel Boyon and the CSA. They said that CRIF works in close cooperation with MEMRI (3), which is involved in intensive media watch activities. CRIF will continue to refer to the CSA, because its task is to alert public opinion and the authorities whenever foreign television channels broadcast unacceptable, racist, anti-Semitic programmes which are contrary to the values of the French Republic.
