France 24's "Fake or Fact" segment is critiqued for debunking obscure internet memes, such as the claim that the EU is moving to "Berlin Time" or that the Russian Orthodox Church was blacklisted as a terrorist group. The hosts argue that the segment is a poor use of journalistic resources and often addresses non-existent controversies.

A France 24 "Fact or Fake" segment addressed claims that the European Union is forcing the continent onto "Berlin Time."
