Controversies

Taddei has been criticised by other French journalists and public figures like Caroline Fourest and Patrick Cohen because of his vision of freedom of speech. In his television show Ce soir (ou jamais !) he invited controversial French personalities such as Dieudonné, Alain Soral, Jean Bricmont, or Marc-Édouard Nabe (one of his friends). These figures are accused by their critics of having antisemitic opinions; Taddei was thus criticised for giving them a platform, even though no complaints were ever made about anything that was aired in eight years of broadcasting, except when Matthieu Kassovitz expressed his doubts about the 9/11 case. Taddei and Ce soir (ou jamais !) have been defended by personalities such as Bernard Pivot, Régis Debray and Alain Jacubowicz (president of the LICRA, the French League Against Racism and Antisemitism).[2]
