Philippe Karsenty (born 25 June 1966) is a French politician and founder of Media-Ratings, a company monitoring the French media for bias.[citation needed] Karsenty came to public attention when he was sued for libel by the public French television network, France 2, over accusations of staged footage by France 2 over the killing of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Muhammad al-Durrah. The libel suit lasted a decade, with the ultimate verdict being against Karsenty and requiring him to pay damages to France 2.
