Synopsis

There’s what you see, what some want you to see, and what you don’t see. Never before has France experienced such a concentration of private media. Some industrial billionaires, owners of televisions, radios and newspapers use their media to protect their private interests, at the cost of information of public interest. Some people think that, by hiding what is essential and magnifying what is trivial, the media shapes, directs and makes the debate hysterical. All of that with the complicity of certain political leaders, who gladly let it happen. Mediapart and Première Lignes take you behind the scenes of France’s major media.
