| Summary/Abstract |
Politicians can sometimes make absolutely outrageous statements without even realizing it. This was, for example, the case with Emmanuel Macron, French President. During a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in France in May 2017, a Russian journalist asked Macron how his administration treated journalists and why journalists from Sputnik and Russia Today were treated in a discriminatory way. Macron refuted this accusation. He stated that his government provided free access to all honest and faithful journalists. Still, they should convey to their readers and viewers truth and not falsifications; not a lie which just appeared to be trusted.
