“The essential is no longer the truth but the shock of provocations”: ousted from CNews, Philippe Bilger loads the channel in a book

Philippe Bilger is not finished with CNews. In “L’Heure des crocs”, a book to be published this Thursday, April 9 by Editions de l’Archipel, the 82-year-old former magistrate looks back on his time within the Canal + group’s news channel. An antenna on which he was a regular columnist for almost three years, notably in “L’heure des pros” by Pascal Praud, before being ousted in January. Two months after his departure, he intends to take a “critical look” at his old house. While swearing not to want to fall into “settling of scores”.
