Jon Stewart said he was “shocked” that Fox News actually apologized on Saturday for reporting that there were “hundreds of no-go zones across France and other countries” where the area is ruled by Muslim law.
The “Daily Show” host called it a factual inaccuracy “that was so much wronger than usual,” since it needed a network wide apology.
“How bad does bullshit have to smell before the odor is detected by people who live on a mountain made of that substance?” Stewart asked.
Apparently, bad enough to be sniffed all the way across the Atlantic, where the prime minister of the United Kingdom said he “thought it must be April Fools’ Day” when a guest on the cable news network claimed Birmingham was “totally Muslim.”
