From 68 reports we hold under this byline, at France 24, Le Figaro. Two independent readings, each made without the masthead, with the quote attached to every tag. We do not carry a rating for any journalist — only what we have measured from published text, and a verdict on a claim is a verdict on that sentence, not on the person who filed it.
