It is often interesting in these times of very strong social and popular tensions to look at the hashtags on Twitter which let the forces of the moment emerge.
From Wednesday July 14, then with the major events of Saturday July 17, the Hashtag “GiletsJaunes” rose strongly in the most viral trends on Twitter. This suggested that the mobilization of the Yellow Vests would experience a resurgence of dynamism and this was also the case in Paris on July 17 where they met at the Pleasure Metro to demonstrate in an independent procession, sulking the gathering of Florian Philippot . And the least we can say is that it had been a very long time since there had been so many Yellow Vests in Paris in a demonstration that left no room for any overflow. Like what.
And since Sunday July 18, the day after strong mobilisations across France, another Hashtag has skyrocketed in the big trends on Twitter: “#StopBFMmenteurs” in particular on two platforms that measure trends on Twitter in real time (getdaytrends.com and Trends24.in)
Say @BFMTV,
It is not because you have several teeth against the opponents of the measures of #Macron that you must lie like their snatchers.
The # manif17juillet were not #antivaxx more #antipass.
How many times will it have to be said that inside?#StopBFMLayers https://t.co/nLjYjOyjx2– Jean MESSIHA (@JeanMessiha) July 18, 2021
In any case, this hashtag has occupied for two days now the top ten places of trends on Twitter around the media treatment of many media on these mobilizations. Rejected, demarcated, underestimated, these gatherings received worrying and insulting media coverage both on the real scale of the number of demonstrators and on the motivations of the French.
These are not #antivaxx Please add a layer @BFMTV with your disgusting titles! They are just people who fight for freedom and say no to discrimination and no to #Passanitary ! ???? Turn off the TV, turn on your brains ???? #UNIT #StopBFMLayers pic.twitter.com/CpwELJM7rJ

They are very numerous on the networks, anonymous, various and varied personalities to express their exasperation about the media vindictiveness that has fallen on them since Saturday. In particular around the almost unanimous qualification of “anti-tax manifestations” when it was a question of opposing head-on to the health pass. In addition, a large number of vaccinated people participated in all of these events throughout the country. Many media have also made the link between the Yellow Vests and these demonstrations considered very abusively as “anti-vaccines”.
Summarized yesterday’s demonstrations by that… This report is a disgrace BFMTV. You dishonor the profession of journalist.
And we will remind you as many times as you will lie, these demonstrations are against the health pass and not against vaccination.#StopBFMLayers https://t.co/XFfK77Eolw

We followed the strong mobilization in Montpellier where we were able to see on the ground that it had absolutely nothing to do with an epidermal reaction to the vaccine but indeed, citizens who opposed the Health Pass and its reach frankly. liberticidal and disturbing. We were able to see in the demonstration by discussing that many vaccinated French people were participating. But to make this observation, it is still necessary to go to these gatherings and discuss with the demonstrators.
I’ve always been one of those people who thinks that people treating the media as shit exaggerate and well since yesterday I changed my mind. @BFMTV @CNEWS @franceinfo manipulate opinion. I wonder how journalists manage to look at themselves in a mirror? #StopBFMLayers

# manif17juillet @BFMTVStop saying that these demonstrations are anti-ax, you know that it is false, it was a protest against health, anti-discrimination, pro-freedom of individual choice. Many of the participants are people vaccinated for covid. You are a shameful caricature.
