ANONYMOUS (Hacker Group) SAYS IT WILL TAKE DOWN THE FOX NEWS WEBSITE
Sky Valley Chronicle ^ | October 25, 2011 | unknown

Posted on 10/26/2011 7:40:14 AM PDT by matt1234

The collective activist hacker group Anonymous has released a statement saying it will “destroy” the FOX News website for what it claims are “propaganda” attacks on the Occupy Wall Street movement.

In a video (see below) Anonymous points out the talking points Fox repeatedly uses to denounce the movement’s protesters in generalizations such as, “filthy, disgusting and dirty.”

The statement of intent against FOX news says:

We are Anonymous. Fox News is now the target of Anonymous because of their continued propaganda against the Occupations. Those such as Sean Hannity are attacking the credentials as well as the character of the Occupiers at Wall Street, and this can no longer be allowed.

Anonymous introduces Operation Fox Hunt. Anonymous intends on destroying the Fox News website because their continued right-wing conservative propaganda can no longer be tolerated.

They use words such as filthy, disgusting and dirty to describe the protesters. Since they will not stop belittling the Occupiers, we will shut them down.

On November 5th, we ask those who are able, to commence attacks on Fox News. Anonymous will not only shut down Fox News, we will also engage in a propaganda campaign of our own to show them how it feels to be chastised. Fox News, your time has come. Operation Fox Hunt: November 5th, may the hunt begin.

Anonymous.

We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”

Good thing it’s only Fox News or it might be considered a terrorist threat.

I thought they were going to make Wall Street “disappear” a couple of weeks ago?

A caller to the Howie Carr Show threatened him yesterday. She “we are coming for you”. May I suggest a basketball filled with C-4.

When did the word ‘propaganda’ become defined as “news that discredits me”?

Didn't a possessed man say the same thing to Jesus? Perhaps this was intentional, but it is an interesting choice of name.

If these slugs were actually successful I wonder how quick the DOJ would be to prosecute?
