As you are aware, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo has claimed her city will sue Fox News over that network's bizarre reportage that there are "no-go zones" in Paris where only Muslims are allowed to enter. Fox reported these areas to be too dangerous for non-Muslim Parisians to enter, more dangerous even than Iraq or Afghanistan. Fox even produced a map of the mythical zones. Parisians are insulted by the fabrications, which suggest that Paris is a dangerous city to traverse, and is intolerant of any group.
Fox has apologized four times for this particular lie. It seems to be part of a concerted campaign by Fox to stir up intolerance against Muslims. The network keeps trying to promote the use of the term Islamic terrorism, and has claimed the religion to be canonically violent on several programs. It may be that Fox has concluded, in the shadow of the pending SCOTUS consideration of gay marriage, that gays are no longer working as a whipping boy, and the network has decided to pursue other groups for Americans to hate.
The French TV show Le Petit Journal has created a humorous video, mocking two supposed Fox reporters in Paris.It's pretty funny:
