Lessons to be Learnt - Always Fact Check #FoxNewsFacts

Have you been on twitter over the last few days? If you have you may have noticed the trending hashtag of #foxnewsfacts . Confused? Let me explain...

Sunday Night: 

In the wake of the tragedies in France, Fox News gets in a "specialist" on terrorist intelligence. Steven Emerson (as you can see here from his Wiki page) is an advisor to the government. However, he is somehow convinced that Birmingham is a non-muslim no go zone and London has violent "Muslim" police that beat non-Muslim. 

Apparently he might be more use in an anti tourism marketing campaign then advising on terrorism.

Monday: 

As always when someone does something stupid, Twitter responds. In this case the hashtag #FoxNewsFacts was born - to brilliant results.
