As if the we needed another reason to question the integrity of Fox news, I recently discovered an old article on their website describing the 2005 Paris riots. According to the article, the civil unrest was caused by "marauding bands of Muslim youth." Showed this to a few friends of mine from Paris, who promptly asked me whether FOX news was available internationally via satellite (strictly for entertainment purposes, needless to say). The "Islamization" of the riots does raise interesting questions about the globalization of media coverage about conflict, however, which would be an excellent direction for future research.
