Fox News apologizes for inaccurate comments about Muslims in Europe

After several false comments about Muslims in England and France, Fox News apologized morning, noon and night on Saturday.

CNNMoney reports several of the cases involved incendiary comments about "no-go zones" in Europe, where Islamic law supposedly supersedes local law and where non-Muslims fear to go. The comments caught the attention of notables such as British Prime Minister David Cameron.

"No-go zones" have been a theme for the network, and critics say the talk advances a frightening narrative that demeans peaceful Muslims.

Inaccurate statements included:

• Birmingham, England, is a "totally Muslim city where non-Muslims don't go in."
• Fox News showed an incorrectly labeled map of neighborhoods in France labeled as no-go zones.
• An anchor said a “EU poll shows that 69 percent of the Muslims in France actually support ISIS.”

After at least three apologies from hosts throughout the day, anchor Julie Banderas delivered a blanket correction, saying, “Over the course of this last week we have made some regrettable errors on air regarding the Muslim population in Europe … To be clear, there is no formal designation of these zones in either country, and no credible information to support the assertion there are specific areas in these countries that exclude individuals based solely on their religion."

Later that evening, anchor Jeanine Pirro encouraged people to go online to vote in her new poll: "Will our free speech suffer so that we can say nothing negative about Islam?"
