Last year, a French court found Philippe Karsenty, founder of French online media watchdog Media Ratings, (that’s him to the left of me in the picture) liable for “insulting” France 2 TV and reporter Charles Enderlin, after he wrote an article claiming the Mohammed Al Dura clip broadcast by France 2 was a fraud.
Which it was.
Now, as my friend Richard Landes points out, his appeal trial is coming up. So Richard has set up a petition as part of an effort to pressure France 2 and the Justice system to release the unedited video tapes that France 2’s palestinian cameraman sent them.
If like me, you would like the truth to get out and justice served, please sign the petition and spread the word.
