Frédéric Taddeï


Frédéric Taddeï is a French journalist and television and radio host. Before his current role as the host of cultural talk show Ce soir on public television station France 3, he hosted from 1997 to 2006 the late night program Paris Dernière broadcast on Paris Première. In September 2018 he started his Interdit d'interdire broadcast on RT TV.

Controversies

Taddei was criticized by other French journalists like Caroline Fourest and Patrick Cohen because of his vision of freedom of speech. In his TV-show Ce Soir he invited controversial French personalities such as Dieudonné, Alain Soral, Jean Bricmont, or Marc-Édouard Nabe. These figures are accused by their critics of having anti-semitic opinions, and Taddei was thus criticized for giving them a platform. Taddei and Ce Soir have been defended by personalities such as Bernard Pivot, Régis Debray, and Alain Jacubowicz.
