i>Télé was renamed CNews on 27 February 2017. Since this change, it has taken a conservative editorial stance,[1][2][3] and is often compared to the American TV channel Fox News.[4] It has been repeatedly warned by French regulators for its failure to honestly and rigorously report news to the public. Due to these infractions, it was fined €200,000 by the French audiovisual regulatory body in 2021.[5]
The channel is under the control of the media proprietor and business magnate Vincent Bolloré, who has been accused of interfering with the editorial choices of the CNews.[6]
