Mockery is a national weapon in France (the best example would be the Charlie Hebdo attack recently), so when an American cable news channel raised false alarms about rampant lawlessness in some Paris neighborhoods, a popular French television show rebutted the claims the way it best knew how: with satire, spoofs and a campaign of exaggeration and sarcasm.

The show, “Le Petit Journal,” which is probably by far my favorite tv show is a French version of “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart”. It is hosted by Yann Barthès.

Usually “Le Petit Journal” reserves its venom for French politicians and the local news media. But a few days after the terrorist attacks in Paris that left 17 dead people, including 12 journalists, it set its sights on America’s Fox News.

“It’s more effective than being upset,” Yann said.

Unfortunately this post won’t really be relevant as the video cannot be found on the internet anymore and its making me pretty upset so I’ll just stop talking.
