New York, January 20 (RHC)-- Fox News has apologized for broadcasting false information about Muslims in the wake of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and a kosher market in Paris.

Last weekend, self-described terrorism expert Steve Emerson claimed on Fox News that parts of Europe, including the entire English city of Birmingham, were totally Muslim areas where non-Muslims do not go. Emerson was forced to apologize, but the claim about so-called "no-go zones" was repeated by other Fox guests and anchors.

According to a CNN tally, Fox News took time out of four broadcasts over the weekend to apologize. Julie Banderas issued the broadest apology, directed at the people of England and France. Her apology came just hours after she interviewed a guest who falsely claimed that 69 percent of Muslims in France support ISIS -- a claim Fox subsequently corrected.
