Some snippets of the extensive media analysis of Chèvre Pensante:

What does France Television claim?

For [France Télévisions ' director of news magazines] "hundreds of anonymous accounts, recent and with very few subscribers, have systematically reflected on Twitter the language elements of certain lobbies, creating a mass effect and a impressive rally effect » Interviewed by Le Monde
Far from being content to accuse its opponents of being trolls, France Television goes even further by describing them no longer as real people, but rather as "anonymous" with "very few subscribers". The dehumanization is such that they do not even say arguments anymore but "take language elements from certain lobbies".Such serious charges would have deserved proof, so it is regrettable that France Television has neglected this point when they probably have relevant elements. However, it is possible to work around this problem by listing and analyzing all 953 tweets published in response to the show . If what the channel says is true, it should be confirmed in the analysis of our data.So, was Special Envoy attacked by an army of trolls?,,,

Conclusions

If we summarize, of the 7 claims of France Television:

► 2 are true

► 1 is manipulative:

■ France Télévision is right in saying that most of the opponents are anonymous, but they are much more likely to be among the supporters of the show. Anonymity being the norm on Twitter, to insist on this point was irrelevant.

► 4 are false:

■ The assertion of France Télévision on opponents with very few subscribers is false, we do not see real differences between groups. Critics, however, have a better relationship subscribers / subscriptions.

■ France Télévision's assertion on the elements of languages ​​systematically reproduced on Twitter seems false, no particular term seems to monopolize the critics. On Facebook, however, the hypothesis can not be ruled out

■ France Télévision's assertion on the recent accounts is false. There are no real differences in the years of enrollment between the groups studied.

■ France Télévision's claim of hundreds of "trolls" is false. We only found six accounts that matched their criteria.
