Paris City Council votes to sue Fox News for defamation over Muslim 'no-go areas' claim - Polidicks

[url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/11/paris-sue-fox-news_n_6664090.html[/url] [quote]Paris City Council authorized Mayor Anne Hidalgo on Wednesday to sue U.S. broadcaster Fox News for reporting there are "no-go zones" in the French capital where non-Muslims and police fear to venture. City officials voted to file a lawsuit at a French court for defamation regarding comments on Fox News and a map it broadcast with eight such so-called off-limits areas circled in red. The report came when Paris was on high alert after attacks by Islamic radicals last month. Fox was widely mocked for that report and for comments describing the English city of Birmingham as "totally Muslim." The broadcaster later apologized for "some regrettable errors."[/quote]

Good. Fact checking is a bare minimum as far as journalistic integrity goes. This report was straight up made of nothing but lies and fabrications to push an agenda. EDIT: [img]http://i.imgur.com/6TEjeJ0.png[/img]

Can we just go ahead and make Fox a bannable source? There are plenty other conservative sites that actually broadcast the truth.
