It is disturbing enough that France 2 aired manipulated footage and used it to make false statements to support an inflammatory news piece about Israel.

What is far more disturbing is that a private individual who then accuses the French media of doing this kind of thing, opens himself to being sued for libel by the very same French media. There is such a thing as “freedom of the press” in France. Apparently we should now understand this to mean that the French press cannot be criticized.

J’accuse.
