French TV Shreds Fox & Friends’ ‘Expert’ On ‘No Go Zones’

It looks like Fox News may have insulted France more than President Obama’s decision not to attend the unity rally last weekend.

While Fox has been pointing fingers at the Obama administration for not attending the unity rally, they seem to be doing a bang-up job of insulting our European allies all on their own.

First, this week, we had British Prime Minister David Cameron calling Fox’s terrorism expert “a complete idiot” for his allegation that the city of Birmingham has gone “totally Muslim.” Now, a French TV show has demolished Fox & Friends’ “expert” who said that the no go zones in France reminded him of Iraq and Afghanistan.

France’s “Le Petit Journal” called host Elisabeth Hasselbeck and her guest, Nolan Peterson, “Barbie and Ken” and "Fox News clowns." The show also sent reporters – in protective helmets – to go investigate those no go zones with man-on-the-street type interviews.

People were asked such questions as whether they had seen anyone in Osama Bin Laden t-shirts – which Peterson said he had seen – but the answer was no.

Several people were asked if the neighborhoods reminded them of Iraq or Afghanistan. The looks were priceless.

You’re on a roll, Fox!

Warp Resident, The blondes do all look alike but this particular one was Elisabeth Hasselbeck, not Megyn Kelly. Believe me, Hasselbeck deserves the derision just as much, if not more.

The former British prime minister called out these Fox “News” frauds, now the French has called them out, too.

The global world learns Fox “News” spread lies. We give credit to Europeans for calling them to the carpet.

We recommend posting this video and PM Cameron’s to all conservative websites. Let them see for themselves that Fox “News” lies.

Our favorite comment is when the host called them “Fox News clowns.” They are clowns, including the senior executives and producers.

FOX lies – period. it is so refreshing to see some other media point this out. Too bad none of the American media has the balls to do so. All American media is in thrall of the ALIMIGHTY DOLLAR, and will not call out FOX for their lies because it won’t generate good ratings which in turn generate $$$. All Americans want on their TV is violence, bloodshed, zombies, and which washed-up has-been movie or TV star can dance. The dumbing down of America contionues apace and we willingly keep coming back to the trough of shit that’s being served to us.

I don’t know what was more amusing, the host referring to Megyn Kelly and the “specialist” as Barbie and Ken, or calling them “Fox News clowns”.

Hannity has been pushing this hard in the last few days, proclaiming there were something like 571 of them in France, where police and fire aren’t allowed to go, and where sharia law rules.

I went and looked it up. There are no “no-go” zones in France. That’s just made up. There are 571 (or whatever number it is) that have been designated “sensitive areas,” or words to that effect— which are like “enterprise zones” in American cities, for God’s sake! They’re low-income economically struggling areas where the French government is trying to improve things with tax breaks and the like. And yes, many (but not all) of them have a large Muslim population because they’re the least economically advantaged population in the country.

I first heard this on Hannity from some a***hole who was a “Jihad Watch” guest, which is a hate group, basically. But this whole lie quickly became an article of faith on Fox— er, that is until Hollande used the magic words “radical Islam,” and now apparently all has been forgiven.

Sheesh.
