Propaganda Alert: Mayor of Paris Plans to Sue Fox News for Lying About Muslims

A series of Fox News segments were recently deemed to be inaccurate, and they were widely mocked in French media for being far from the truth, and for inciting hatred towards Muslims.

The news segments suggested that there were parts of Paris and other cities in Europe where “Islamic law was practiced” and police and non-Islamic citizens were “fearful” to go into these areas.

Surprising to no one who is aware, Fox News was torn apart for making false claims about these alleged dangerous Muslim neighborhoods.

In response to this genuinely dangerous propaganda, the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, seeks to sue Fox News.

According to CNN, a rival propaganda outlet, ‘One Fox show, for example, displayed an inaccurate map of the alleged ‘no-go zones’ in and around Paris. On another show, a guest who was identified as a security expert claimed that Birmingham, England is a ‘totally Muslim city where non-Muslims don’t go in.'”

This was such a blatant lie that British Prime Minister David Cameron had to admit it was false. He said “When I heard this, frankly, I choked on my porridge and I thought it must be April Fools Day.”

Here’s another example of “experts” on Fox News playing no objective role, but the role of an agitator. They have assumed the role of seeking to justify war, homophobia, and Islamophobia.

A generic response was given by Fox News, saying it’s unlikely they would face consequences for lying.

“We empathize with the citizens of France as they go through a healing process and return to everyday life,” said Fox executive vice president Michael Clemente. “However, we find the mayor’s comments regarding a lawsuit misplaced.”

Fox has since publicly apologized for this “mistake” on various shows including Justice with Judge Jeanine. The repulsive clip, for sake of reference, can be viewed here.

Please share this with as many people as possible, especially those remaining few who still believe what Fox News or any other corporate media outlet says.
