RMC Sport columnist Daniel Riolo was admonished by a colleague for his criticism of Karim Benzema.
Daniel Riolo, the very controversial journalist from RMC Sport, let loose this Monday morning. During an intervention on his media, he pointed the finger at Karim Benzema for the message that the latter published the day before on social networks. For daring to pull the wool over the eyes of the former French international, he was scolded in turn.
“Benzema and Mbappé owe us nothing”
Riolo criticized Benzema for formulating a message “eminently political” And “choose your side” between Gaza and Israel. He also suggested that the former Madrid native has nothing to do with the values of the Republic while he is still a French citizen. “If Israel makes him want to vomit, let him at least deliver a message to the murdered Frenchman’s teacher”he argued.
@DanielRiolo we will have to stop policing the networks by giving good points and bad points for Benz, Mbappé or Sy otherwise we should count everyone in the media who express themselves on subjects and others who do not and make the same deductions /implied?

A position which does not benefit his colleague Walid Acherchour. The latter immediately reacted on the X network (formerly Twitter): “We will have to stop policing the networks by giving good points and bad points for Benzema, Mbappé or Omar Sy otherwise we should count everyone in the media who express themselves on subjects and others who do not and do the same deductions/innuendoes? “.
The journalist of Algerian origin then defended Kylian Mbappé, who is criticized for not speaking out in order to convey a message of peace. “It’s nonsense and terribly perverse, the guilt of what’s happening around Mbappé for example is shameful. If he doesn’t express himself, it’s not good and if he does express himself, it’s not good either. Stop with that, they don’t owe us anything.”
