A contributor to Fox News has apologised after calling Birmingham "a totally Muslim city where non-Muslims simply don't go in".
Steve Emerson made the comments while speaking about the recent terror attacks in Paris.
The statement sparked an almost immediate backlash on Twitter, with users creating sarcastic pseudo-facts under the hashtag #FoxNewsFacts.
Fox News contributor Steven Emerson has said he will apologise to the people of Birmingham "for as long as he lives" for falsely claiming the city was a "no-go" city for non-Muslims.
Mr Emerson, who said he is a self-employed terrorism analyst, sparked outrage when he told a Fox News segment that Birmingham was "a totally Muslim city where non-Muslims simply don't go in".
He told ITV News that he has now made a £500 donation to the cancer ward at Birmingham Children's Hospital by way of apology to people in the city.
He had been talking about so-called Islamification in Europe and "no-go" areas when he identified Birmingham.
