The exchange between the columnist and the presenter created a certain unease on the set.
What a delicate art to use the right word. Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine and Patrick Cohen experienced it this Wednesday, September 2 on the set of C to You. As today marked the opening of the trial of the January 2015 attacks, the former director of the publication of Charlie Hebdo, Philippe Val, was the guest of the show. Patrick Cohen proposed a recontextualization of the case, with the help of reminders from Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine. But the choice of the word used by the latter did not please the journalist from France 5.
While the caricature of the prophet Muhammad is approached, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine pronounces the following words: ” Charlie who then reoffended ”. Patrick Cohen then interrupts him with an embarrassed smile: ” Finally, who continued to do his job. Sorry, to reoffend, you have to be guilty at the start ” before continuing his explanations and finally pausing again to explain the reason for the journalist’s error: ” Pardon Anne-Elisabeth, it was I who wrote you this term ‘recidivism’, but it is ill-chosen ”.

Explanation immediately supported by the journalist: ” It was you who chose this term, I respected it, I seemed to accuse Charlie who continued to do his job“. Philippe Val, for his part, tried to relax the atmosphere, and Patrick Cohen to justify himself on the use of the term “recidivate”: ” But I remember that at the time, in 2012, several newspapers had headlined ‘Charlie recidivates’ “. More fear than harm therefore for this little misunderstanding.
