This doesn't even need a critique.

If I had even an iota of respect for the journalistic integrity of FOX news, this segment would have extinguished it.

Fortunately I didn't.

The panel speaks for itself; every one of them - excluding Chris Carter, who still came off as a complete moron - exposes themselves as a complete xenophobic, self righteous bigot. Europe's economy is in ruins! (Please ignore the world wide recession our god-fearing country plunged the entire world in to in 2008.) Europe is full of pagans! (Please ignore the deeply Christian countries. By the way, pagan does not equal secular.) Europe is immoral! (Compared to what? The shining example of US morality?) Europe is a socialist haven! Socialism puts the state above individuals! (No...and, no, not really.)

It's fantastic that these people can go on television and spurt personal bias as fact, redefine concepts to suit their agenda and base conclusions on demonstrably false assertions and then claim they're being 'Fair and Balanced' because they give 30 seconds to some moron who disagrees with them, but can't string two intelligent words together.
