When commenting on Karim Benzema’s difficulties in Saudi Arabia, CNews speakers were faithful to the channel’s editorial line, immediately going into the area of religion.
On CNews, no subject is taboo, especially when it can feed into the channel’s editorial policy. Thus, the setbacks of Karim Benzema, who would not be happy in Saudi Arabia, and would consider returning to Europe (which his entourage denied), were commented on in Christine Kelly’s show. And, unsurprisingly, it wasn’t really about football.
“It’s fun, it’s fun, reacted the polemicist Mathieu Bock-Côté, “replacement” of Eric Zemmour on the channel. Having thought he would find happiness by going into exile in Saudi Arabia, he had to think about it all the same, at least he had to know how to count and now he wants to come back home. I hope he doesn’t want to Islamize France to finally feel at home, like he did in Saudi Arabia, unless he already wants to. »

Benzema’s religion in question
“I hesitate to know if he is fleeing because he was the victim of Islamophobia there, xenophobia, racism, for his part, quipped Guillaume Bigot, who refers to the criticisms that Benzema and some of those close to him may have made about France. Maybe it’s his friend Darmanin who misses him too. »
The CNews editorialists thus find pleasure in discussing Benzema’s discomfort, remembering that the former Real Madrid player had notably justified his departure to Saudi Arabia by his desire to join a Muslim country. Without fearing to go on slippery or even nauseating terrain, another speaker did not hesitate to compare the 2022 Ballon d’Or to “these young girls who went there to Syria and then who, afterwards, took their papers, but they have to come back while wearing (the veil). »
