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.



> He is formerly French.

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.

[0]: 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...
