http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-reporter-confronts-jindal-for-exaggerating-muslim-no-go-zones/CNN Reporter Confronts Jindal for Exaggerating Muslim No-Go Zones
Following a speech he gave in London Monday that referenced the discredited claims of no-go zones for non-Muslims in Britain, Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) continued to defend his point to a CNN reporter who pressed him for evidence.
In his remarks, Jindal said, It is startling to think that any country would allow, even unofficially, for a so called no-go zone. The idea that a free country would allow for specific areas of its country to operate in an autonomous way that is not free and is in direct opposition to its laws is hard to fathom.
But later, he was confronted by CNNs Max Foster to back up these claims. Look, Ive heard from folks here that there are neighborhoods where women dont feel comfortable going in without veils, Jindal said. Thats wrong. We all know that there are neighborhoods where police are less likely to go into.
But you need to have proper, sort of, facts to back that up, Foster replied, saying he, as British man, has never heard of no-go zones for non-Muslims.
.....................
Holy crap, a journalist wants "evidence"? What is this mysterious "facts" thing the reporter is going on about?
WTF is up with that, asks Chuck Todd as he chokes in his porridge as PM Cameron does......again.
Will Prime Minister Cameron also go on the record to call Jindal a bloody idiot, as he did the last Fox News puppet to lie about Britian?
The Brits got balls Bobby, they do not appreciate the fine science of lying as much as Americans do, you have been in the American media cocoon too long. Welcome to the real world.
And guess what, no Fox News office in London, they only have one internationally, part time in Tel Aviv, so you can not run to them for a little victimization therapy.
This going to be fun.

About time American reporters grew a pair that European reporters openly hang around their necks, but then what would become of the entire GOP if reporters demanded evidence and facts in America?
The fact that political parties are not allowed to advertise makes the free press in Britian far more alert than the sleepy PR specialists that pass for reporters in America, the ad dollar Avalanche lately is so corrupting that even truth is shied away from.
It would be a ducking disaster for the party of lies if a couple of American reporters did the same, but once the American media pulls their gold ringed fingers out of the damn, that is it. No more ad money.
Which brave American reporter will be first to ask for evidence and facts from the GOP and the corporste media?
Fame, accolades and riches await you.

Paris and absolutely demolished it.
