Fox News To Issue 'Correction' Over Steve Emerson's Birmingham Is 'Totally Muslim' Comment

Posted by Priscilla -25.80pc on January 17, 2015 · Flag

In the interests of being "fair & balanced," (LOL) tonight's Jeanine Pirro show will feature a correction of Fox "terrorism expert" Steve Emerson's claim that scary terrorist Muslims have taken over Birmingham England. Guess when the British PM is upset, Murdoch takes notice?

The Washington Post reports that on tonight's "Justice with Jeanine," the former judge and GOP hack will issue a correction to Emerson's bizarre fabrication about how the entire city of Birmingham is a  "no go zone" full of scary, radical Muslims  - a lie that earned the interest of British PM, David Cameron. Emerson's comment also scored a "pants on fire" rating on Politifact. Emerson has issued an apology and not only will Fox correct the record; but, according to a Fox spokesperson, Emerson will never darken their door again.

TPM wonders if Pirro will also issue a correction over her claim that Pakistan is an "Arab" country; but that might be just a bridge too far for Fox.

Anyway,

Stay tuned....

Ruthless Rupy is still scorching from the hacking and bribery scandal in the U.K. The last thing he wants is another scandal brewing.

The $6 million dollar question. Will the suits continue to invite "terrorism not expert Steve Emerson on the program? We guess no.

..and on Fox and Friends this a.m. Princess Anna rushed through a correction and apology over a PHONY map last weeek showing the fabricated “no go” zones that appeared on Fox. Would have loved to have seen the actual corrected map but not from the unfair and unbalanced network.
