Greta: Paris’ Fox News Lawsuit Threat ‘Petty’ Compared to Human Trafficking

Greta Van Susteren just heard about Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo‘s threatening to sue Fox News for its erroneous reports about Muslim-only “no-go zones,” and her response was weirdly zen.

Van Susteren is currently on a trip to Cambodia, so she’s a bit behind on the news cycle. The On the Record host is overseas documenting the human trafficking crisis with producer Griff Jenkins and evangelist Franklin Graham.

Seeing some terrible stuff in southeast Asia got her a-thinkin’:

I am in Cambodia and threat to sue Fox by Paris over something said on air seems pretty petty compared to real human trafficking I am seeing

nothing like logging on from a real crisis,and far away to make some stories (Paris v. FNC) look like a p/r stunt

It takes seeing human horrors to realize the Paris lawsuit threat is mildly ridiculous.
