    Article is on cnn. Basically for the past week plus, fox has been talking about Muslim controlled no go zones in France and England where non Muslims were not allowed to go and the police and Fire fighters wouldn't respond. It was all made up and fox has had to apologize.

    There is more to it than that, but that's probably the worst part

    Egregious.

    Media making up stuff about Muslims... No surprise.

    ---“You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel…”

    Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache

    Could you verify the percentages of "Jewish" ownership of this publicly traded corporation, more importantly did you grasp anything from the yellow star annotations on this particular website?

    this isn't really news, they do this crap all the time and apologize afterwards. Their whole aim isn't to report of some news, its to construct the news of the future with the perceptions that muslims have "no-go" zones and the world is moving towards the concentration camp mentality towards them. It encourages more prejudice and gets your average american thinking that its ok to think like that as well.

    So does CNN. Television news is first and foremost about ratings. it is an entertainment venue with programing to match.

    Fox screwed up here and should be ashamed. Of course they do not do it all the time, or the specific examples would be noted here in this forum as frequently as they happen, just as this one has been.

    But truth be told, there are not very many instances of this at all by Fox News, especially when compared to CNN and MSNBC. Not saying that makes it OK, because it doesn't. But let's try to maintain a little perspective here.
