From reality TV to the news of 13 hours via the regional thrillers of France 3, 20 minutes – and, above all, the incredible editorial team of the “Retro TV” column (made up of one person) – scrutinizes everything that happens on the small screen. But if, you know, this box that comes alive and that young people use to watch YouTube! Every Saturday, this is where you will find our favorites (or not), all the crisp news and indiscretions of the week. Come on, do we take a look at the TV news?

Valérie Damidot rebelled on her Twitter account after seeing the question on the program of the show: “There is no debate to be had. It’s a hell of a thing to ask the question, there is something called the Hippocratic Oath … “Estelle Denis replied to her colleague, specifying that it was” the principle of the debate, while bringing contradiction ”. The story does not say if that convinced her.
