French TV Show Laughs At The Credibility Of "The Fox News Clowns"

Fox Nation vs. Reality
Over at Fox & Friends, Elisabeth Hasselbeck interviewed a former Air Force pilot who claimed to have personal knowledge of the deterioration of French society. Nolan Peterson said that there were "741 no-go zones throughout France." Peterson described his adventures in the wilds of Paris saying that...
"It was pretty scary. I've been to Afghanistan and Iraq and Kashmir, India, and at times it felt like that - those places in these no-go zones. [...and that...] You see young men wearing Osama Bin Laden t-shirts in a hookah shop."
Really? This veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq was scared of Paris? The segment was seen by Yann Barthès, the host of the French television program "Le Petit Journal." His response was to mercilessly flog Fox and Peterson while exposing the glaring errors in their analysis. For instance, Fox made reference to a poll that said that 16% of the French people had a favorable view of ISIS. However, that poll was debunked by the Washington Post, a point that Barthès noted.
Fox also displayed a map of the so-called no-go zones in Paris which brought spontaneous laughter from the residents of Paris in the audience who knew better.
my first question, why was he breaking the law by going into these alleged 741 no-go zones, second why does Fox feel the need to lie to it's viewers do they think it helps them to redden the meat they throw to them and if so with rebuttals all over the media about the notoriety of Fox and contrived stories passed off as news some of them have to at some point hear the truth and if they dissmiss the misleading by Fox it's still their in the back of their minds and one day they will explode all over the news station that wasn't now isn't.
