Jean Ferniot and PhilippeTesson: the exclusion of certain politicians

Jean Ferniot, former editor-in-chief of "L'Express" and editorial writer at RTL, discusses the form of censorship that journalists exercise on politicians: when a policy involved fellow journalists, all journalists launched the "cemetery procedure". The politician was no longer quoted in the newspapers for a certain period of time. And Philippe TESSON, founder and director of the "Paris Daily", added: "what is the worst disgrace for a politician. He explains that this form of set-aside is now done naturally according to their sympathy rating... He points out that today doing journalism is less pleasant than under the Fourth Republic. The Fifth Republic sanitized and technicalized political life and made the President of the Republic "untouchable".
