"I am French, excuse my English. All French mock Fox News now."

"I am French, excuse my English. All French mock Fox News now.

Especially the episode with the specialist who speaks of "Iraq, Afghanistan"; tee-shirts "bin laden" (we do not even know it existed tee shirts like that) and "no-go-zone" Montmartre, Republic, Magenta ... Haha.

This is incredible! Me who lives Republic (which is an area rich!) When I saw that I not believe my eyes ... That's your channels of information ????

It's a comedy? This is frankly a shame that the 1st world power have this kind of news channel who trade the reality with as much force.

I invite all Americans to come in this "no go zone" to see the extent of the damage of your "information channels" And these are "specialists" and more !!!
It is inconceivable that a news channel like that exists
here in France."~~Alain Benoist

A big hat-tip to my French compatriot who wrote this comment in response to Mediaite's posting of more French lampooning of FOX.

1. Inconceivable in France, front row press seat in America.

America is the go to zone for media lying without consequence.

[Surya Gayatri]

8. Absolute no-go if you want fair & balanced reporting.

Damn, is it ever embarrassing having to try to explain the existence of FOX to my French friends!

[polly7]

2. I don't think France's tourism industry will be very happy with this. nt.

[Fred Sanders]

3. Someone should sue.

[Surya Gayatri]

5. See my post just below...LOL!

[polly7]

6. I believe I read the mayor of Paris is! (though I could be wrong, as Faux

has 'apologized', i.e. issued gravest apologies to/if anyone who was offended), and other news media are reporting these apologies as very heartfelt and sincere, end of story.

[Fred Sanders]

9. The other news media are cowards, they know all about Fox, same as the French discovered in one

week, American media have protected for years.

Cowards and con men and co-conspirators, it is clearly not the American media that are going to do the job.

The MEDIA can not see what another MEDIA outfit is doing? Give me a fucking break.

The entire American media can not see this? Then they are all fucking liars as much as Fox.

[Surya Gayatri]

12. ^^^This!^^^

"Cowards and con men and co-conspirators!"

[polly7]

16. I was very disappointed to see Ashleigh Banfield

(not sure what channel it was) airing their 'apology - sorry if anyone was offended' and summarizing the story as basically over. She used to be a really good journalist, who was skewered for her remarks and reporting in the ME.

[Fred Sanders]

18. The whole outfit is a propaganda mill and its cast are PR specialists, not journalists, so no on

CN, I dropped the middle N, ever disappoints me.

[polly7]

24. I'm noticing the same thing up here, too.

Not the reporters, per se, but the topics reported on - especially international stories. The depth and unbiased, real reporting is changing, it makes me sad to see it.

[mountain grammy]

20. I completely agree. Fox came along and the rest of the corporate media

followed. Disgusting how non informative the corporate mainstream media has become.. cowardly submitting to the "liberal media" label the right wing and fox hung on them and striving to become "fair and balanced" and fox-like.

Turns out, it's facts that have a liberal bias.

[Stargazer99]

35. At least the French have some balls while American corporate business

runs the country.....into the ground

[Surya Gayatri]

4. Paris' woman mayor, Ms. Hidalgo, is threatening to sue

FOX for defamation and damages. LOL! Hope she screws them to the wall.

[polly7]

7. I hope so too!! nt.

[Stellar]

10. FOX News...the laughing stock of the world.

nt

[Surya Gayatri]

11. Sadly, they're dragging the US right down into the mire with them...n/t

[Stellar]

14. I think you're right but...

please don't make me see that part. (I don't want to be a laughing stock with them)

[olegramps]

36. And don't for get with the assistance of the so-called "liberal press."

They never challenge any of the outright lies spewed on FAUX.

[Surya Gayatri]

37. User Fred Sanders said it so well here:

13. outside of the US

inside the US their manufactured stories generate the buzz cycle.

[Stellar]

15. Yeah, I keep forgetting how small the world has gotten.

Especially when everybody is on-line these days.

[rurallib]

21. But the standard in the US

[Historic NY]

17. FAUX news...

we report you decide.

[BeyondGeography]

19. Outfoxed

It took the French about a minute to figure out and tear to bits the same thing that paralyzes tens of millions of Americans day after day.

Bless them.

[Fred Sanders]

22. There are journalists in France and Britain, American media has replaced them all with PR experts.

What a fucking disaster the Fox debacle has been for all of them...about fucking time...yet even still they protect Fox from the obvious and bury their heads in the stand?

They will never cover this much again, the bright light of basic journalism, "can you back that up with evidence?" reveals too much, that is going to have to be the job of social media, facts are foreign to the American media, fear is the game plan.

27. Faire marcher les parisiens, c'est pas facile...

[Surya Gayatri]

29. On n'est pas né de la dernière pluie..."! LOL!

We Parisians weren't born yesterday!

[mountain grammy]

23. Awwws, and just when Fox was loving France again..

guess it's back to "freedom fries."

[Surya Gayatri]

32. Very short "lune de miel" (honeymoon)! LOL!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Republicans refuse to admit their playbook is the same as the Nazis....

Including the absolute belief in the use of propaganda.

Roger Ailes will be remembered alongside Joseph Goebbels.

[Surya Gayatri]

28. May his ignominy precede him to the gates of hell...

FOX's editorial policy? Straight from the master's user's manual.

[2naSalit]

30. He will in my world

without question.

[Initech]

31. I fart in Fox News' general direction!

[Surya Gayatri]

33. Can't resist!

[polly7]

34. LOL! nt.
