From the NYT:

Apparently unmoved by the Fox News channel’s on-air apology to “the
people of France” for broadcasting the false claim that areas of Paris
are Muslim-ruled enclaves — or “no-go zones” outside the control of the
state — the city’s mayor announced Tuesday that she intended to take
legal action against the network.

Of course the fact that Parisians have been saying the same thing for
years is of no particular consequence I suppose.


And a certain percentage of Americans in every city would say the
same, doesn't make it true.

If you send me some plane tickets I'll be happy to go to Paris and do
some first hand investigation.


They really should look at a bit more than criticism of Fox.

"Here’s the AP, for example, writing this of “Muslim extremists” back in November of 2005 about
riots in Paris, emphasis mine:


Some officials suspect the unrest that reached into Paris proper early Sunday has in part been
instigated by gangs hoping to turn their neighborhoods into no-go zones for police so drug
trafficking and racketeering can thrive.



"And here is that bastion of American right-wing yahoos, the New York Times, writing of Paris in
2002 (emphasis provided):


Yet Arab gangs regularly vandalize synagogues here, the North African suburbs have become no-go
zones at night, and the French continue to shrug their shoulders.
