City council of Paris votes to sue Fox News

[World Eater]

The link is below the quote:

The Paris city council voted to green-light a lawsuit on Wednesday seeking to hold Fox News responsible for incorrectly reporting that there are “no-go zones” in Paris where non-Muslims are unwelcome and sharia law holds sway.

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo, the main proponent of the lawsuit, said the “honor of Paris” was at stake. “I’ve received a lot of encouragements from Americans to try to make this kind of nonsense stop,” Hidalgo was quoted in the French press as saying Thursday. “I don’t accept insults to our city and its inhabitants.”

The vote in favor of the lawsuit was not unanimous. One Paris councilman said that it would “not serve any purpose to pursue a defamation case against a veritable bloopers factory” such as Fox, and the “no-go zone” insult was not the first and would not be the last.

Another council member said Hidalgo should seek understanding and offer to treat the Fox journalists to a stay in Paris and show them around.

“I personally don’t think it’s funny,” Hidalgo replied, “and I’m not going to hit the bars with Fox News journalists, even the nicest [journalists].”

Good. Fox is known for being conservative and sometimes they take it to far. I hope Paris wins the lawsuit, it's a great city.

Being conservative, although I don't like it, is okay imo, but Fox literally lies on their news allllll the time. They deserve it.

Maybe Fox News will finally get what they deserve... But probably not because no one ever does

Fox isn't really conservative, they're neocons. huuuuuuge difference.

a stopped clock still shows the correct time twice a day, though.

ever since obama was elected the us has been slowly decaying into a socialist regime where citizens don't have a voice, hasnt it? do you think its a coincidence that as soon as obama took office that the quality of this country has been severely reduced? due to his foreign policy youd think he was a muslim as well, wouldnt you?

And MSNBC, CNN, and all other major news distributors DON'T lie all the time? It's about pushing a narrative. If you aren't pushing a narrative, you're not doing it right. This is modern day journalism.

Yes they do, but fox more often. I wasn't trying to compare them to any other news source. Just because the others are bad doesn't make fox any better.

They aren't conservative. They are as conservative as much as North Korea is a democratic republic.

I do hope they get punished. A newspaper here published a fake photo of the President of Croatia starring in a porno. The pornstar was just her look-alike but still, the newspaper didn't get punished because it writes good things about the ruling party.

When you have multiple liars, it doesn't matter who lies more. The fact is that they are liars, no matter how many more lies one tells than the others.
