MoveOn.org admits it 'hacked' Fox News
WND ^ | 9 JUNE 2011 | Aaron Klein

The George Soros-funded activist group Moveon.org has admitted it was behind a hoax Youtube video in which it appeared the ticker outside News Corporation's Manhattan headquarters had been hacked and reprogrammed with an anti-Fox News script calling for revolution.

MoveOn.org admitted it set up fake identities for the alleged hackers and even released a misleading video in which a man, with his face disguised, purported to confess he was behind the Fox News hacking.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

Using the word ‘hacked’ is deceptive. Yes, they spoofed Fox on YouTube. No, they didn’t actually break into FOX computers and reprogram the ticker. The former is satire, the latter is breaking and entering (aka hacking).

And yes, I know the word is in the article and not your fault, rdb3.

Agreed. If that's how they're wasting Soros' money, then he's not getting his money's worth.

It would be interesting to see if they violated any of the terms of use for the fake accounts they set up.

Next they’ll be photoshopping graffiti on the side of the building and pretending they’re taggers.

They should be sued by Fox. It’s no surprise that MoveOn would perpetrate a fraud.

Yeah I’m not sure they can be sued for putting out a fake video claiming responsibility for a hacking that didn’t happen.

Its kinda like the toy soldier hostage video out of Iraq a few years back.
