No, those are just places we don't go
The No Go Zones talked about are a topic invented by Fox. Where they are literally, legally and patrolled "No Go Zones".
Don't you read the news ? Bobby Jindal at the time of the Paris cartoonist shootings was laughed off of a stage for referring to the No Go Zones in Paris.
Granted threr are bad parts of every town. But, they are not "No go Zones"

Unsurprisingly, O’Reilly didn’t take too kindly to these accusations, and—as reported by The Wrap—he declared that David Corn deserves to “be in the kill zone.” We’re not sure what that means, but it definitely sounds like a reasonable thing to say. Weirdly, though, Mother Jones didn’t think it was so reasonable, and it released a statement demanding that O’Reilly apologize on the air for suggesting that Corn should die.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.

Bill O'Reilly's CBS Colleague Says Buenos Aires Was Not A 'Combat Situation' After Falklands War
Buenos Aires was neither a “war zone” nor a “combat situation” after Argentina surrendered to Britain in the Falklands War, says one of Bill O’Reilly’s former colleagues at CBS who was with him in the capital at the time.
“It was an ‘expense account zone,’” writes Eric Jon Engberg, a retired CBS correspondent, in a Facebook post. “We -- meaning the American networks -- were all in the same, modern hotel and we never saw any troops, casualties or weapons.”
On Thursday, Mother Jones accused the Fox News host of lying about having "reported on the ground in active war zones from El Salvador to the Falklands" and "survived a combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War.”
Since then, O’Reilly has been on a tear against the “left-wing media,” calling the report “garbage” and Mother Jones editor David Corn, who broke the story along with reporter Daniel Schulman, a “despicable guttersnipe.”
O’Reilly says he never claimed to be in the Falklands, but that the riots he witnessed in Buenos Aires -- 1,200 miles from the islands -- constituted “combat.”
"Would you consider a riot a general combat definition?” conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt asked O’Reilly on his show yesterday.
“Yeah, when it’s in a war setting, of course,” O'Reilly responded.
Reports from Buenos Aires after the Falklands War show rioters breaking windows and throwing stones and sticks. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and clubs. But there were no reported fatalities.
“The riot around the presidential palace was actually short-lived,” Engberg writes. “It consisted mostly of chanting, fist-shaking and throwing coins at the uniformed soldiers who were assembled outside the palace. I did not see any police attacks against demonstrators.”
In addition, Engberg calls into question O’Reilly’s claim that he was "was out there pretty much by myself because the other CBS News correspondents were hiding in the hotel."
“If he said such thing it is an absolute lie,” Engberg writes. “Everyone was working in the street that night, the crews exhibiting their usual courage. O'Reilly was the one person who behaved unprofessionally and without regard for the safety of the camera crew he was leading.”
Engberg said O’Reilly also ignored orders from CBS Bureau Chief Larry Doyle to keep camera lights off in order to avoid attracting attention and being injured: "According to Doyle, O'Reilly returned to the hotel in a rage over the fact that his cameraman wouldn't turn on the lights to photograph angry crowds. Doyle defended the cameraman and chewed out O'Reilly for violating his instructions on lights."
Corn said the revelation from the CBS veteran raises further questions about O'Reilly's integrity.
“This account from a veteran CBS News correspondent and a former colleague of O’Reilly -- who witnessed O'Reilly's short stint in Buenos Aires at the end of the Falklands War -- is additional confirmation of what we reported and raises additional questions for O’Reilly,” Corn told The Huffington Post. “Will he responsibly respond to all the questions or will he continue to rely upon invective and bombast?”
Neither Fox News nor O'Reilly immediately responded to requests for comment.

Brian Williams and Bill O'Reilly have both seemingly exaggerated war stories. That's not a coincidence

"Instead of focusing on how much to blame or punish Williams and O’Reilly, it would be more useful perhaps to question our own need for paternal purveyors of ‘truth,’ for heroes, and for men who ‘anchor’ us."

But in his book The No Spin Zone, the host writes that he did not begin covering the civil war in El Salvador until "a few weeks" after he began as a CBS News correspondent in 1981 -- the year after the execution took place. .
