Political reasons =/= actual bad actors.

The person you're replying to made a case that a person with outsized influence is creating media to stir resentment for attention and your conclusion is "political reasons".

The word "political" always ends up meaning "don't talk about reactionaries throwing rocks"

this company is also a king when it comes to pulling rugs

On their TV offering, in 2018 and 2022, they did pull the rug themselves by stopping to broadcast the free to air outlet which has #1 audience on the market, TF1, and this commercial dispute went to courts

Long story short, it's big business (not just inde studio does politics) and they're notoriously anything but victims at it
