Philippe Karsenty (born 25 June 1966) is a French politician and founder of Media-Ratings, a company monitoring the French media for bias. Karsenty came to public attention when he was sued for libel by the public French television network, France 2, over accusations of staged footage by France 2 over the killing of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Muhammad al-Durrah. The libel suit lasted a decade, with the ultimate verdict being against Karsenty and requiring him to pay damages to France 2.
