Paris mayor: We intend to sue Fox News
CNN ^ | January 20, 2015 | CNN

Posted on 01/20/2015 9:27:16 PM PST by Dallas59

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo told CNN Tuesday she intends to sue Fox News in the wake of the channel's coverage of supposed "no-go zones" for non-Muslims.

Hidalgo said the channel had "insulted" her city.

"When we're insulted, and when we've had an image, then I think we'll have to sue, I think we'll have to go to court, in order to have these words removed," Hidalgo told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "The image of Paris has been prejudiced, and the honor of Paris has been prejudiced."

Free speech for vulgar cartoons but none for FOX news. What total typocrites. Hey, I like that word. There is something more behind this methinks.

lol..French sue Fox?

Never happen, but let them attempt, they will see their American support slowly disappear...

FOX NEWS IS #1 IN THIS COUNTRY...More Americans watch the Fox Network than all cable networks combined.

Nice link.

I hope they do sue so Fox can prove the accuracy of the story.

Also note how a guest on a show is now ‘Fox news’ - which means whatever guest is ever on the other networks now magically speaks for the entire network.

Perhaps all the other news outlets that have covered Paris, and other french cities, using the terms “no go zones”, will be excellent evidence Fox didn’t just pull this idea out of thin air.

News coverage is rarely unique. In fact it’s pretty amazing all the outlets use the same verbage quite often, same terms, almost verbatim reporting.

I do find it amusing that the cheese-eating surrender monkeys think that Fox’s truthful and accurate reporting is the thing that tarnishes their city.

The problem is this is exactly what the UN progressives want. The want an international court where EVERYONE will be forced to anwer for their “crimes”.

I wonder if she ever thought about sueing Germany for showing what pusses they were in WWII.

Ahh, yes, the old ‘we'll sue you since, well, you're telling the truth, but we don't want people to know that.’

Meanwhile, Islamics are making up insane drug induced theories about super shape shifting Jews who staged the whole attack on Charlie.

Maybe it's time the old mayor gets out those walking shoes and see how many areas are actually safe to walk in these days. Make it more interesting, carry a bottle of booze in one hand, and have a pretty woman on the other arm.

Honestly, can you IMAGINE a Paris Mayor even thinking about something like this if we had an ACTUAL President?

The LiveLeak video says all that needs saying. If the French courts are fair, this lawsuit is doomed.

The Paris mayor had better start wearing her hijab.
