Translated into several languages, intoxication aimed at Léa Salamé and Raphaël Glucksmann misses his target?

An alleged video circulating online claims that Léa Salamé, a French TV presenter and former France 24 correspondent, attempted to bribe media outlets to publish favorable articles about her partner Raphaël Glucksmann, who is considered a potential presidential candidate in 2027. The video, attributed to the media outlet Blast, was shared by users across multiple countries. However, investigations have revealed the video to be fake. Analysis using tools like Hiya and SynthID indicates the audio and images were generated by artificial intelligence. Edwy Plenel, founder of Mediapart, denied receiving any such message and accused the video of using his voice without consent. The video also relies on a fake website, blastinfo.fr, which mimics Blast’s legitimate domain. This incident is linked to known disinformation tactics, including the use of AI-generated content and impersonating credible media sources.
