Frank Melloul is French, and he formerly worked for the French government, and he was even active (at a low level) in French politics.
> And i24news is israeli.
Technically it's from Luxembourg[0] actually;).
> It's part of Altice as a buyout by the branch Altice USA...
I wasn't bought out, it was founded by French[1] billionaire Patrick Drahi in 2013.
This isn't a game, you're just flat out lying for gods knows why.

[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…
- aatd86 3y agoI 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...
