Let’s begin with a telling example of just how far French media have fallen. L’Express posted the following on X: “Breaking — Israel has launched a massive wave of strikes on Tehran. Israel announced that 200 fighter jets took part in the raids, calling it the largest operation in its military’s history.”
Two seconds on any search or AI engine would have told the editors that the Israeli Air Force operates 175 combat aircraft with a range of 1000 km or more. You cannot send 200 planes you don’t have. Click through to the actual article and the number quietly shrinks to 80. That isn’t a typo. That’s a fabrication — and a brazen one. That’s deliberate desinformation.
Now, to the substance.
