The story and pictures were intriguing, but then at the end: "There’s a true story for you, FOX News." Wat? That's jarringly out of place w.r.t. the rest of the article, and leaves an unpleasant political aftertaste for something that would have been fine without it.

Following the Charlie Hebdo attack, FOX was reporting that certain areas of Paris are "no-go" zones for non-Muslim French people.

So the title "The real no-go zone of France" was already a reference to the controversy they mention.

I realize that everything is politics, but bashing FOX News is just a subset of telling the truth. It is political speech in the same sense that mathematics is political speech.

Questioning the value of truth is something people occasionally do, but I generally find their arguments rooted in a cynical worldview at best, and completely unconvincing at worst.
