Topic: Douglas Herbert

A delegation of African leaders visited Ukraine on a mediation mission to address grain and fertilizer shortages. Mainstream media critics, including France 24's Douglas Herbert, questioned the delegation's neutrality because several participating nations abstained from UN resolutions condemning Russia.

Foreign correspondent Douglas Herbert's reporting on ISIS for France 24 is criticized for its repetitive use of the word "basically." The hosts interpret this linguistic tic as a sign that the reporter is reading a forced script he does not believe. They argue that such verbal fillers often indicate that the information being presented is "bullcrap."
