You need to verify your sources. Just a little search would show you that it's not entirely true, not true anymore, or slightly twisted in the way you present it. That's the whole problem, a lot of people peddle biased or straight false information. Even if it isn't malicious in intent, perhaps because of ignorance, it's problematic.

Here's the Linkedin of the channel's CEO for you: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-melloul-158470/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-melloul-158470/ Source of the fact that he's indeed the CEO: https://www.i24news.tv/en/executive-committee https://www.i24news.tv/en/executive-committee. I mixed-up the news Channel owned by Altice (M6 doesn't belong to it), but it's still clearly an important player in French media: https://www.alticemedia-adsconnect.fr/nos-marques/ https://www.alticemedia-adsconnect.fr/nos-marques/ You're the one trying to muddy the water, first by implying that French media weren't reliable, and then trying again against my refutation.

  He is formerly French. And i24news is israeli. It's part of Altice as a buyout by the branch Altice USA... Please, just stop. This is not a game.

[0]: https://www.i24news.tv/fr/conditions-generales-d-utilisation https://www.i24news.tv/fr/conditions-generales-d-utilisation [1]: yes he has 5 different nationalities, but his familly arrived in France when he was a teen, studied in France, made a fortune in France, most of his empire are French companies, and so is his political network, so I'll count him as a fellow French, even if he also has the nationality from Saint Kitts and Nevis…

      I wasn't talking about the CEO but the owner, Drahi. It's still israeli owned. Drahi is born in Africa. And he isn't a French national anymore apparently. Anyway, regardless. I apologize for the confusion, i24news is broadcast in the USA thanks to a serie of buyouts, from Altice NV to create Altice USA and then another recent acquisition (Cablevision) to acquire broadcasting licenses etc... The details can be found. I don't dispute the fact that there are links to France (obviously) but the point remains that it's a more global media than what you linked. I will note that if you want unbiased raw information, you should rather link afp as every true journalist would tell you. i24news is registered in Luxembourg... Fair enough. I guess a company being registered in Ireland makes it Irish... Who really cares...
