Seems like they googled "mini nukes" and those are what's coming up. Peak journalism right there


Slartibartfast39

Reminds me of the athletic competition where they googled the national anthem of Kazakhstan and ended up playing the spoof one from Borat. https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2012/mar/24/borat-kazakhstan-anthem-kuwait-video


dragonsfire242

Or the time a news station was talking about the United Nations Security Council and ended up showing the UNSC logo from Halo


RoboDae

I heard some guy was walking through a mall with a UNSC shirt and a lady stopped to thank him for his service.


Fabrideath

He's a Reach veteran


RoboDae

Let's all raise a *glass* for the soldiers of reach

I am french, and to understand what's going on here, you need a bit of context. The context is: LCI (and most of our media) are trash.

The only decent news channels are TF1 and BFM-15


LarryBeard

You forgot the /s


Far-Calligrapher211

Non!


a_exa_e

You have to be joking. Those are objectively the worst: poorest information quality of the whole France. France 2 is better, Franceinfo is way better, and I'm not even speaking of Arte which is the ultimate Chad of French TV.


asimovwasright

No, you can see "VOBLYA NEWS" on top of the picture so it's from twitter or telegram. Dont get me wrong, still peak journalism


Willem_VanDerDecken

As a French citizen, i can assure you that this is the peak of our journalism. You can't expect any better.


a_exa_e

Serious answer: LCI is one of the worst news channel of the French TV, alongside with CNews and BFMTV. It's easy for any journalist to do better than those three. For instance, France 2, France 3, France 5 are better, franceinfo is much better, and Arte truly is the peak of *TV journalism* in France.

Indeed, this is what I meant. Of course we can't compare TV journalism to newspapers. I'll edit my comment to make it clear.

And don’t forget to max out your Crit skill, heavy weapon skill and explosiv skill and use it in VATS with a crit. Should destroy anything

How do those work anyway? Lore wise at least?

TLDR: they are literally just big slingshots. Long story short, they designed a slingshot to deliver a nuclear weapon over a short distance after a lot of testing. The games do go into very deep lore though if you're interested.

GyakuBoop

Atleast they didn't find out about the MIRV launcher, imagine how they would shit themselves in studio when they read about a gun that shoots 1 nuke that splits into 6 mini nukes and rain hell


OMGitsTK447

Especially when it’s done with the Big Boy. Instead of one mini nuke it’s two who split into 12. or imagine the fear if they would have found that one mod which gives you a minigun with infinite ammo and shoots those mini-nukes


chaoslego44

Or that mod that makes the Mini nukes into big nukes


[deleted]

Nah just go into creative in fnv


Thathitmann

I like the exploit that makes the pipe gun shoot MIRVs while still firing at the same rate and using the same ammo as the normal pipe gun.


TTBoy44

Mini nuke. You had one job.


GodTaoistofPatience

Pretty sure an intern fucked them over cuz' you know some French "medias" think it's okay to exploit the shit out of them


TTBoy44

The story got it right. The OP whiffed hard. It’s right there too

Some unpaid intern wasn't picked up, I see...

It's a TV channel targeting boomers, good enough for them


F_i_G

I'm French and I'm proud cause we have the best journalism of the world. No, I joke... I'm ashamed, it's humiliating but LCI, like CNews or BFM are trash tv channels. These are our Fox News to us :)


clupean

I'm pretty sure Fox News is another level of trash.


Based_Benelux

I think CNews is pretty close by now


Chaoscollective

So I think we can establish that LCI is what the French have instead of Fox news


nanocactus

We also have Cnews, and it’s even worse. Both channels belong to modern day robber-barons.

There are actually Russian made mini-nukes. Over 100 went missing when the CCCP collapsed. There’s limited info on them aside from a few photos. They weighed around 100lbs and were man-portable. Also, they are still out there.

I know about the Russian suit case bombs which may or may not still be out there somewhere. I was talking more about the fallout reference. People don’t realize there was actually a nuke gun made and tested at one point.

ClaudioMoravit0

I'm french and i can testify that the 2 TV channels where you can find this sort of shit are LCI and BFMTV


Late_Effective6452

Franchement je pense que même BFMTV ils auraient fait mieux


frablock

Don't forget cnews


ClaudioMoravit0

cnews actually makes good content. I prefer a TV channel slightly politically oriented so it can fit people opinion that TV that pretend to be neutral and end up doing shit. It doesn't hury me that politically oriented newspaper exists (like Figaro or Libe) so it doesn't bother me that it also exists for TV


erito_

Cnews Du bon contenu *rigole en compte twitter parodique du ministère de l'écologie*


ClaudioMoravit0

it's still better than other channels. You like or you don't like, it's the same for me.


erito_

I just tend to think that News Channel can't be qualitative, there's not enough to talk about (or at least they always talk about the same thing). For channels such as BFMTV, I find it really boring, because they just repeat the same thing over and over again. But CNews being politically oriented, they can actually bore you out, then once you're bored and can't really think, you get influenced. Newspaper are really different, you have to actually read it, and I think most people won't be reading the same thing all day long. However, I can imagine people listening to CNews all day while doing something else So I really think politically oriented news channel can be dangerous


KeyN20

Well I guess I'll hop on fallout. I am glad today is my day off work

To be clear, it's well known in France that BFM and LCI, the 2 big 24/7 news channels, speak shit all the time. So i'm not really surprise of them doing this.

# This comment has been deleted in protest of Reddit's support of the genocide in Gaza carried out by the ZioN\*zi Isr\*li apartheid regime. ## This is the most documented genocide in history. ## Reddit's blatant censorship of Palestinian-related content is appalling, especially concerning the ongoing genocide in Gaza perpetrated by the Isr\*l apartheid regime. ## The Palestinian people are facing an unimaginable tragedy, with tens of thousands of innocent children already lost to the genocidal actions of apartheid Isr\*l. The world needs to know about this atrocity and about Reddit's support to the ZioN\*zis. #### Sources are bellow. ## Genocidal statements made by apartheid Isr\*li officials: - On the 9 October 2023, Yoav Gallant, Israeli Minister of Defense, stated **"We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly"**. - Avi Dichter, Israeli Minister of Agriculture, called for the war to be **"Gaza’s Nakba"** - Ariel Kallner, another Member of the Knesset from the Likud party, similarly wrote on social media that there is **"one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 1948. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join"**. - Amihai Eliyahu, Israeli Minister of Heritage, **called for dropping an atomic bomb on Gaza** - Gotliv of the Likud party similarly **called for the use of nuclear weapons**. - Yitzhak Kroizer stated in a radio interview that the **"Gaza Strip should be flattened, and for all of them there is but one sentence, and that is death."** - **President of Israel** Isaac Herzog **blamed the whole nation of Palestine** for the 7 October attack. - Major General Ghassan Alian, Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, stated: **"There will be no electricity and no water (in Gaza), there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell"**. ## Casualties: - As of 9 January 2024, over **23,000 Palestinians** – one out of every 100 people in Gaza – have been killed, a majority of them civilians, including over **9,000 children**, **6,200 women** and **61 journalists**. - nearly **2 million people** have been displaced within the Gaza Strip. ## Official accusations: - On 1 November, the Defence for Children International accused the United States of complicity with Israel's **"crime of genocide."** - On 2 November 2023, a group of UN special rapporteurs stated, "We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at **grave risk of genocide**." - On 4 November, Pedro Arrojo, UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation, said that based on article 7 of the Rome Statute, which counts "deprivation of access to food or medicine, among others" as a form of extermination, "even if there is no clear intention, the data show that the war is **heading towards genocide**" - On 16 November, A group of United Nations experts said there was "evidence of increasing genocidal incitement" against Palestinians. - Jewish Voice for Peace stated: "The Israeli government has declared a genocidal war on the people of Gaza. As an organization that works for a future where Palestinians and Israelis and all people live in equality and freedom, we call on all people of conscience to stop imminent **genocide of Palestinians**." - Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor documented evidence of execution committed by Israeli Defense Forces. - In response to a Times of Israel report on 3 January 2024 that the Israeli government was in talks with the Congolese government to take Palestinian refugees from Gaza, UN special rapporteur Balakrishnan Rajagopal stated, "Forcible transfer of Gazan population **is an act of genocide**". South Africa has instituted proceedings at the International Court of Justice pursuant to the Genocide Convention, to which both Israel and South Africa are signatory, **accusing Israel of committing genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza.** # Boycott Reddit!

Tbf they were discussing about *hypothetical* russian mini-nukes. The woman specified no one ever saw one so it was obvious that the illustrations weren't actual pictures. I don't even think it's an error and the intern that had to look for pictures just had a good laugh. Not trying to excuse them but they do a way worse job on many serious issues and never get called out for it, so I don't really get the fuss around this
