" On peut rire de tout, mais pas avec n'importe qui". Desproges

Marine Le Pen decided to sue the TV presenter Laurent Ruquier for a joke he should not have made. He showed the genealogical tree of Marine Le Pen in a form of a swastika which has irritated the leader of the FN party.  The problems related to Le Pen's campaign are focused on racists accusations from the Jewish community in one hand and the non EU immigrants on the other. In fact, there is an impressing media avalanche of accusations and denials all coming from private/ based sources. When it is not the fdesouche.com which is spreading its nationalist ideas, there are twitter users from a Jewish confession trying to polemicize on quotes from extreme right party. Of course, this is not to say that Jewish community and the other immigrants of France are now unifying against the FN, in the contrary, it is the perfect atmosphere to raise victimization and put the blame on anyone for anything as the LDJ ( ligue de défense des Juifs) did with France 2 accusing the channel to influence public opinion through the diffusion of documentaries on Gaza. The climate in France is cold not only because it is November but because of a electoral / electrical atmosphere where media are fighting almost as individuals to make their point and share their values/ views with people. France today is now a perfect example to analyze media manipulation and propaganda. All this in a very ironic and implicit way that make ideas conveyed almost as subliminal messages since every type of media gets involved in the mass audience manipulation.
