YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFox News has apologized for broadcasting false information about Muslims in the wake of the Paris attacks. Last weekend, selfdescribed terrorism expert Steve Emerson claimed on air that parts of Europe, including the entire English city of Birmingham, were totally Muslim areas where nonMuslims do not go. Emerson was forced to apologize, but the claim about socalled "nogo zones" was repeated by other Fox guests and anchors. On Saturday, according to a CNN Money tally, Fox News took time out of four broadcasts to apologize for reports on Muslims. Jeremy Scahill, cofounder of The Intercept, discusses the rise of socalled "terrorism experts" by Fox News and other major cable networks. In two recent interviews with CNN, Scahill has criticized the news giant and others for their use of "onair analysts who also work in the private sector and make money on the idea that we should be afraid." He also responds to blistering criticism from FBI chief James Comey of using an anonymous alQaeda source in reporting on the Charlie Hebdo massacre, and analyzes what alQaeda's claim of responsibility will mean for the U.S. drone war in Yemen.
