Jean-Marc Morandini, CNews host convicted of corruption of minors, announced on February 9, 2026, his temporary withdrawal from the airwaves to restore calm within the newsroom. This decision follows intense controversy sparked by his definitive conviction and Sonia Mabrouk's resignation. The channel's management has taken note of the proposal.
France’s audiovisual regulator Arcom has challenged a study by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on CNews’s pluralism, featured in France 2’s “Complément d’enquête.” Arcom states no rule violations occurred in March 2025. CNews hosts have dismissed the probe as biased.
