though a review of the offending segment reveals that Pirro’s errors extend beyond just the failure to challenge Emerson. She gave the impression that she was rooting for these falsehoods. “This is metastasizing into a simple takeover,” she said at one point of the Muslim presence in Europe.
I notice this Erik Wemple hit piece on Fox only mentioned the error on Judge Jeannine Pirro's show, but still used it as a blanket to smear all of Fox News. To my knowledge it was one guest, making one error. And Pirro responding to what she trusted her guest to be telling her as fact.
As cited in the Hannity clip I posted above several days ago, as told to Hannity by a different guest, there are 752 of these "no-go" zones in France, and in Sweden, England and other European countries. It was overstated by one guest about one city in England, but the "no-go" zones clearly exist. Autonomous muslim regions where the French police and fire departments don't go into, where muslim communities provide their own.
Certainly the non-assimilation of muslims, the muslim hostility toward the European nations they live in, the desire to establish Sharia law in all these nations, and the Islamic terrorism in Europe and worldwide, are undeniably real.
Let's be honest, the mainstream media is overwhelmingly liberal, and generally despise Fox News for its airing of a dissenting conservative perspective, even though they present both sides in a "fair and blalanced" debate. And no doubt Wemple lives for the opportunity to whale on Fox when they make an error (as all news agencies inevitably do at one time or another, and offer corrections).
And jump on Fox News in a way that they wouldn't if a liberal/mainstream network made a similar mistake.
Compare, for example, the selective omission of the other networks who didn't even mention Obama's absence from the Paris rally of virtually all world leaders. Neither Obama, Biden, Kerry, or even Eric Holder (who happened to be in Paris and right across the street and still didn't attend!)
Even when Obama's White House press secretary Josh Earnest a day later was questioned by Fox White House correspondent Ed Henry and Earnest unprecedentedly for Obama's White House, admitted that the administration made an error, the mainstream media STILL didn't cover it, or acknowledge that there was international criticism of Obama for not attending. Or acknowledge their own error in not reporting it (as Fox News
DID!)
The other networks also vastly under-reported Republican sweep of the table in the Nov 2014 elections. Somehow when Republicans win the (overwhelmingly liberal) news media has no interest in reporting it. Again a case where to know the facts, one would have to turn to Fox News, to see what was selectively omitted by the entire rest of the mainstream media.
