[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]This is such an interesting subject, because I don't believe there needed to be an apology, except to explain what was meant.

There are indeed areas that could be considered 'no go zones', i.e. places that are primarily X or Y and if you are Z, it's bad news to go there. Cabrini Green would be an excellent example. There are indeed primarily radicalized areas where you would not want to go.

It's like the term "Death Panels". If the government, an insurance company, whatever decides they will not pay for a treatment, and you can't afford it, indeed that's a death panel.  When Emanuel talks of withholding care for the aging after a certain point, he is talking about a death panel.

You might not like the terms being used, but it's always best to look beyond those terms and see if the actions are consistent with how the term is defined.[/quote]

When Fox used the term "no-go zones", the network was not referring to Cabrini Green. They explicitly said that sharia was applied in those zones. No such place has been demonstrated to actually exist. The issue is not that Fox apologized, but that the network admitted that it had been wrong. You should take them at their word.
