You have to love investigative journalism... or just journalism...or just reading the prompter...or just saying whatever you think...or at least saying whatever comes out (thinking optional).

At least he was correct when he talked about "no go zones" and Sharia Courts though... Both real and no laughing matter!

The whole thing's a joke and a laughing matter!!! That's the point, this so-called expert was talking absolute bollocks :) NO-Go areas and Sharia courts in Brum. is that what you Americans think our second city is like? Oh dear, get a grip mate and do so research, please.

A TV talking head was being interviewed on a talk show, and the host asked him if he ever checked his stories for accuracy, because he made so many erroneous claims. He said something to the effect, "I'm a journalist, not a reporter. I don't have to check my facts." I probably get the terms he used wrong, but not the sentiment. He can say whatever he wants, whether it's true or not.

Got it right here, Jerry.
It would concern me if the TV channel I was watching was being hosted by someone with such a degree of ignorance that she would not challenge these ridiculous statements. She is paid to present the show, but a little research on the nght's news stories could help!
How reliable can Fox NEWS be when such bilge is allowed to be broadcast in their name.

Everyone makes mistakes and a apology or correction was issued, was it not? You really want some BS, try the Sharpton channel.

?????? So? The idiot was interviewed, either lied or made stuff up, and apologized. At least he didn't trymto,double down like the NY Times writers that made up stories, and kept defending them!
This kind of stuff is why one always has to find more than one source before repeating "facts", eh.

It happens all the time, not only on TV but in newspapers as well. It was Steve Emerson who made the remarks - Not Fox News.
The worse experts that I know are those who know nothing but mock Fox on everything.

Fact: Birmingham is entirely populated by Muslims, with all infidels being sent to nearby Coventry - hence the expression.
