Just when you thought the irony of it taking radical Muslims to make Fox “News” love France couldn’t get any better, it looks like the pretend news network will go back to eating freedom fries asap.
The seemingly unapologetic foxbots and mannequins at Fox News finally ate a little crow when they admitted to completely fabricating a slew of stories about supposed “no go zones” in France and England. A “no go zone” is a district where the police and other officials supposedly allow scary Muslims to enforce Sharia Law and ban any nice, white Christians from entering.
Of course, this is not to be confused with Fox News’ “no truth zone,” in which no factual information dare enter.
But even if Paris thinks Jerry Lewis is funny, they weren’t amused by Fox’s false reporting. In fact, Paris mayor, Anne Hidalgo, says she’s planning to sue Fox News for making up lies about her city.

Although I’m no lawyer, I’m pretty sure suing Fox News is like leading a rebel attack on the death star and not something I would recommend. It’s also not quite clear what the mayor of Paris seeks to accomplish with the lawsuit, but CNN intends to air the full interview with her later this week.
Here’s a settlement suggestion: make Bill O’ Reilly wear a beret and speak like Pepe’ Le Pew for a week.
