Commentaire personnel:

Bien sur, tous conflits d'intérêts entre les acteurs concernés ne serait
que pure spéculation, dans la mesure où TF1 est une grande chaîne dont
l'objectivité de l'information est la seule Page Rankingéoccupation d'une part, et
dans la mesure ou le Page Rankingésident Sarkozy aurait «d'autres chats Ã***
fouetter» d'autre part (j'ai mes sources).

La seule et unique véritablement vraie vérité véridique est que Laurence
Ferrari a travaillé plus.



Sarkozy favourite replaces France's top news presenter

Laurence Ferrari is to replace Patrick Poivre d'Arvor as the French TV
channel TF1's evening news show presenter


France's most popular television news presenter, Patrick Poivre d'Arvor,
will be dumped this summer in favour of a rising female star who was
once linked romantically with President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Laurence Ferrari, 41, will take over in September as the figurehead of
the 8pm news on the TF1 channel. There were reports last November that
Ferrari had been seen dining with the recently divorced President but
speculation about an imminent marriage came to nothing. Soon afterwards
M. Sarkozy began his whirlwind romance with his future wife, Carla Bruni.

M. Sarkozy is said, however, to have lobbied his billionaire friend,
Martin Bouygues, owner of TF1, for Ferrari's promotion. There are no
doubts about the journalist's ability, but her promotion was interpreted
by French newspapers yesterday as part of a "Sarko-friendly" revolution
at TF1.

Poivre d'Arvor, 60, who has presented the show for 21 years, has slipped
in the ratings in the past 12 months. He was savaged in a recent book,
Madame, Monsieur, Bonsoir, by anonymous TF1 journalists, as lazy,
arrogant and biased towards the centre-right.

The presenter, universally known in France as "PPDA", has nonetheless
managed to annoy the centre-right M. Sarkozy. Soon after his election
last May, Poivre d'Arvor asked him if he sometimes felt like a "little
boy in the big boys' playground". M. Sarkozy, 5ft 5in tall and sensitive
about his size, snapped back: "It's very nice of you to present things
in that way, M. Poivre d'Arvor."

A deputy in M. Sarkozy's party, the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire
(UMP) suggested the changes on the TF1 show were driven by "psychology",
not friendship, politics or pique.

Poivre d'Arvor was closely associated with the era of the presidents
François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac, the deputy said. "So long as
PPDA was on the news each night, you had the impression that nothing in
France had really changed. President Sarkozy is determined that
everything should seem to have changed."

In December 1991, Poivre d'Arvor was caught out faking an interview with
the Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Shots of "PPDA" asking questions were
inter-cut with Mr Castro's replies at an open press conference. In 1996,
he was found guilty of taking benefits in kind from a businessman whose
father-in-law, a rising politician, had been a regular guest on his news
show. Poivre d'Arvor was given a suspended jail sentence and asked to
stand down from his job for a year.

Ferrari used to be the back-up presenter of the TF1 news at the weekend.
She left two years ago after her then husband, Thomas Hugues, was fired
from his post as back-up presenter to "PPDA" on weekdays. That decision
was taken – again through the influence of M. Sarkozy – to create a
vacancy for a black journalist, Harry Roselmack, to occupy a
high-profile position on French TV for the first time.

The main weekend presenter, Claire Chazal, mother of an illegitimate son
with Poivre d'Arvor, was also reported recently to have lost favour with
the TF1 management. She is now expected to continue in her post

Ferrari parted from her husband last autumn. Soon afterwards, she was
reported by French magazines and blogs to have been a frequent dinner
guest at the Elysée Palace, in the weeks following M. Sarkozy's divorce
from his second wife, Cécilia.

le thème de la Favorite a été bien mieux traité par Donizetti .....qui
n'avait d'autres ambitions que de distraire le peuple en l'éduquant
politiquement !
