Le Petit Journal (pronounced [lə pəti ʒuʁnal]) is a French news and entertainment television program that airs every weekday on Canal+, presented by Cyrille Eldin.
The newspaper Libération described the show as sexist, badly produced, and unfunny, and accused Eldin of egotism for appearing on screen almost constantly throughout the programme.
[6] During the 2008 United States presidential campaign, Le Petit Journal caused some confusion and curiosity on the Internet when its crew members installed themselves, along with several joking banners, in the background of American news shows broadcast from New York City.
On the night of the election, they joined New Yorkers in Times Square and held aloft a large banner bearing the word "Cassoulet".
"[8] Le Petit Journal again came to the attention of American audiences after it satirized reports by Fox News, in the wake of the January 2015 Île-de-France attacks, claiming the existence of Muslim-dominated no-go areas in Paris.
