“Investigation supplement” looked at “the Zemmour method” of the almost candidate in the presidential election: a portrait, dependent, from the extreme right polemicist, cut into small, illustrated chapters , who tend to show that Eric Zemmour is, otherwise the spiritual son, at least the “media son” of Jean-Marie Le Pen.
The survey brings few revelations but searches the main stages of its career, whether it is the role of Vincent Bolloré, the boss of the Canal + group who personally put it in the saddle on CNEWS, to that of the media in its ascent. The team watched for a month “Facing the info”, and calculated that Eric Zemmour had speech for eleven o’clock for twenty broadcasts (when Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Emmanuel Macron had about three hours each, Marine Le Pen, 1 hour 25), more than all his competitors together.
After his two failures at ENA, he worked two years in advertising, “it did not give great results,” says Ellen Willer, who leaned him to the FCA agency, and his boss has Required obliging to Philippe Tesson, Director at the time of the daily life of Paris. This is how the young man became a journalist – but “not an outstanding investigator,” says one of his sisters.
“Purely racial vision”
The polemicist is soon a name on TV, and “Supplementary Investigation” has dug a poorly known episode, one face-to-face, in September 2018, on the plateau of Thierry Ardisson with Hapsatou Sy, at Who Eric Zemmour reproached – already – his first name, and judged that she should have called CORINNE. The young woman’s response was cut off the assembly – “Investigation Supply” found her, as well as a small stormy video with the host of the show where she announces, very shocked, she will wear complaint. Thierry Ardisson is elegantly, “Go, complains,” it will be on Morandini “. Hapsatou Sy received from death threats, packages of excrement by mail, he whispered “Corinne” in the ear in the street. Why Corinne? “This is the first name of the hairdressers and secretaries,” wrote Zemmour in his last book.
Other very strong moment, the testimonies revealed by Médiapart of Gaëlle Lenfant, that Eric Zemmour kissed in 2005 at the Summer University of the Socialist Party, and that of a very young journalist, who thanked the editor From Figaro to have paid a coffee: “You will thank me otherwise, he told him – she noted in her diary – and there he tangles his tongue in my mouth. Unexpected, disgusting.” He started coming back from the coffee, telling him that’s how it works, in journalism …
The investigation has still dispedtered the sixteen procedures against the polemicist (five relaxes, two convictions, nine still in progress), returns to his words on Philippe Pétain, calculated that he had won about 3 million euros With his books, and appraised, with Cécile Alduy, specialist in the analysis of political discourse, seven of his main works. The word “breed” appears 130 times. “The only person who has used this word as well as Eric Zemmour is Jean-Marie Le Pen, says the semiologist, it is a purely racial vision of society.” The old patriarch of the extreme right takes the opportunity, in the ‘broadcast, to repeat that he will vote for the best placed in the presidential election. And ensures that he did not fail a program of Eric Zemmour. That’s right, we even see him doze in front of his TV.
