“Fox News used the tragic attack on the offices of a satirical newspaper in Paris as an opportunity to attack New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio while blaming strict gun laws and political correctness for the tragedy.

French President Francois Hollande called the attack “a terrorist attack without a doubt,” and France has reportedly “raised its security alert to the highest level.”

On the January 7 edition of Fox News’ Fox & Friends, national security analyst KT McFarland said that “really strict gun control policy” in France contributed to the attack and claimed that France’s “politically correct ” policies that treat everyone equally were also to blame. Host Elisabeth Hasselbeck echoed support for law enforcement policies that treat people unequally and added that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio threatens security by demoralizing the New York Police Department and painting the NYPD with “a racist brush” when officers act on that principle.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

  1. Israel has killed 720 journalists over the past decade, 17 of them only last year and nobody batted an eye, many other journalist, including Muslims, were killed by The US army in Iraq and nobody gave a damn, now some cartoonists die and every body is ready to blame 1.6 billion Muslims, The fucking hypocrisy..!

    1. And what’s even more ironic was that war criminal Benjamin Betanyahu who has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of journalists, not to mention thousands of civilians, had the nerves to participate in the march supporting the French magazine.
