French TV mocks FAUX News re "Post Terror Attack: Paris has 'No-Go' Zones"

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=28b_1421201170

Hilarious clip! The French people are watching the Wingnut news reporting on the post-terror attacks and ROFLing at it.

Because sometimes laughter really is the best medicine. Vive la France!

With a tip of the hat to the anonymous Frenchman who did the English sub-titles! Also, the opinion poll that FAUX put up re "24% of French 18-24 years old support ISIS" was 'fact checked' and denounced as bullshit by the Washington Post. The subtitles get confusing at that point in the clip.

OPs, one just after the other.

You're right, the subtitles are very well done.

What's just as good is the anchor's tone of voice--so drôle, so quintessentially French.

I actually live in the FOX-designated 'no-go' Quartier Père Lachaise mentioned in the clip, so it's doubly hilarous for me.

It's a great neighborhood, wouldn't live anywhere else.

Been here for years--5 min. walk from the peace & quiet of the cemetery. Best place to hang out and read in good weather!

The FAUX news commentary about Paris is SO FAR OUT in left field, I almost don't understand it, yet I'm a mother-tongue English speaker. It veers so deep into "Crazyville" that, as I'm watching, I'm saying to myself "What is this? What are they saying? Does not compute. I don't understand..."

I have never watched FAUX NEWS. This clip is ROFLMAO funny, but also a bitter reminder of just how much certifiable CRAZY can be vomited out onto the airways and straight into the dead minds of the typical American Wingnut. I weep for my country.
