In the Journalist's own words :

"Unfortunately there was a map that accompanied my interviews, which implied the areas I was describing were in neighborhoods like Montmartre. That is, of course, ridiculous. I didn't make the map, had nothing to do with it, and didn't know it was on the screen with me."

Foxnews made the map. In any case, first their terrorist expert who admits he had only read about Birmingham and forgot to fact check, now this guy... they need to pick their "experts" better.
