Paris-based media advocacy group Reporters Without Borders has alleged that a PR firm linked to conservative French businessman Vincent Bolloré is leading a “vast disinformation campaign” to “discredit” it.
In a report published on its website, the RSF said that the firm Progressif Media “targeted” it through a fake lookalike website and “used Kremlin-like techniques” to discredit it, while operating from the Paris offices of Bolloré-owned Vivendi. It said the businessman is “credited with helping France’s far-right gain unprecedented power”.
