This Saturday, the news channel gave incorrect information on the sidelines of the demonstrations in Paris. A few hours later, the journalists rectified the situation by apologizing on behalf of the channel.
This Saturday, December 12, several journalists from BFMTV were covering the demonstration of the global security law in Paris. The cameras broadcast live, the progress of the procession in the streets of Paris.
But one event particularly shocked viewers who followed the demonstration on BFMTV. After a violent police charge, one of the demonstrators, who drummed, continued on his way, his face bleeding.
« We come back for a moment to these images of a man stained with blood, it’s makeup, we reassure you, for the moment no injuries. »

Very quickly, the journalists of the news channel then declared on the set that the man was in truth “made up”: “ We come back for a moment to these images of a man stained with blood, it’s makeup, we reassure you, for the moment no injuries. The news channel said during its live.
However, on several other videos relayed by our colleagues, we can see that the man was present at the head of the procession when he suffered a violent charge from the police, injuring his face. Despite this incident, the protester and musician had continued on his way as if nothing had happened to continue playing his instrument before stopping in front of a police roadblock and then declaring: ” I make music myself and that’s what I take. »
The forces of disorder who harass the demonstrators by regularly rushing into the procession for no reason other than distributing batons.

At the end of the afternoon, BFMTV returned to this incident, apologizing to its viewers, many of whom reacted on social networks after the news channel’s comments: ” It was mentioned on the antenna of BFMTV that it was makeup because of false information and it was not. This man was indeed beaten by the police during the demonstration. “Explains the latter before adding” BFMTV apologizes for the broadcast of this erroneous information earlier during the day on our antenna. “
