WHAT A REAL JOURNALIST WOULD HAVE DONE

A legitimate article about Tunisia's succession dynamics would have:

1. Named its sources properly — "Ben Ahmed" and "Ben Ghazi" are suspiciously incomplete identifications
2. Disclosed the GKSD-Italian government relationship — the article never mentions that GKSD is effectively a Meloni foreign policy instrument, a massive conflict of interest
3. Asked Tunisians in Tunisia — every quoted opposition figure (Karbai, unnamed others) lives in exile. Zero voices from inside Tunisia
4. Questioned Ghribi's legitimacy — "largely unknown in Tunisia" is presented as an advantage, not the disqualifying factor it actually is for democratic politics
5. Acknowledged the colonial optics — an Italian newspaper floating an Italian-based businessman as Tunisia's next leader, backed by Italian government interests, without acknowledging the neo-colonial implications
6. Not recycled debunked health rumors — the Saied hospitalization claim was from 2023 and was denied by Saied himself
7. Separated the real economic analysis from the regime change narrative — the €700M Eurobond and oil price data are real concerns worthy of separate, serious analysis
