ANONYMOUS: Going after FOX Noise for its lies about OWS

source: http://tinyurl.com/6zrwcxx

Anonymous, a group of hackers that has previously attacked Sony and Bay Area Rapid Transit, said it will shut down the Fox News website on November 5.
It announced its intentions in a video on YouTube, citing Fox News' propaganda against the Occupy Wall Street movement as reason.
"Anonymous introduces Occupation Fox Hunt," the video's disembodied voice says. "It intends on destroying the Fox News website because their continued right-wing conservative propaganda can no longer be tolerated."
The group, which is affiliated with fellow hacker group LulzSec, specifically mentions primetime host Sean Hannity for attacking the "character and credentials" of the occupiers. It makes no mention of parent company News Corp., which has had hacking problems of its own.

    • So a group of people want to shut down Fox because they don't agree with what they say. Why is anyone here, anyone who professes to support OWS due to the First Amendment freedoms that OWS enjoys, even begin to believe that this is ok? Does the First only apply to views one group supports or does it apply to all views. Do supporters of this Anonymous, a group so cowardly they hide behind masks and keyboards, think that theirs is the only view that can be permitted? How does this make OWS or Anonymous any better than the those wanting to shut down the protests due to point of view?
      All of these are rhetorical questions because it does not make Anonymous any better. Doing this under the guise of being in the majority only makes Anonymous either a tyrant or the tool of a tyrant. Either way it is wrong. It is b.s. such as this that will convince me that OWS and its supporters are the real enemy, perhaps unwittingly or intentionally. The term "useful idiots" comes to mind.
      I will reserve final judgment until and if this comes to pass.

    • I think they might just do it for the lolz as it were. I mean that was pretty much the original concept of Anonymous. It did activism in a way that was more for the thrill of it than the ethnicity of the situation. They find it exciting to hack places and hence the reason why you had splinter groups like Lolzsec form. I just hope they spam a bunch of troll faces or something of that sort on the Fox News web page.

    • After watching Faux noise (and taking a good shower), I always like to check the fact checking sites to see how many pages of lies or retold liks have been set free today. It's always a gaggle, but those who watch increase its readership, so I welcome someone who will watch this garbage and just report out the stupidest junk or the "we can't believe anyone would believe this absurd shit"! Like the "un-reality" show that it is!

      O'Really? made a laughable statement the other day, when talking with someone named Leslie Marshal about the funding of OWS as opposed to the funding for the TPeers:

      MARSHALL: The Koch brothers have never denied the financial trail (funding TPee).

      O'REILLY: Your turn is over, Leslie. Your turn is over. We'll get back. And I want to remind you not to make statements you can't back up on this network. We don't do that on this network. Other networks do. We don't.
