Last night the Fox News ticker on 6th Avenue in New York City was hacked into and its usual message replaced:
The message from hiropro999, who uploaded the video, goes as follows:
Hello
Last night I hacked into the FoxNews news ticker on 6th avenue in NYC.
Here's the video. If you'd like to know why, just read the message in the hack.
I accessed the Fox ticker basically to get your attention. Also because Fox deserves it: they're the 24/7 mouthpiece of the right wing. They are huge perpetuators of the big lie.
This country isn't broke. Question is: where is the money going?
Americans have a right to know their pockets are being fleeced by corporations and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and we can no longer tolerate the deceit FoxNews is perpetuating.
For the record, I am not connected to Anonymous or any of the recent attacks on the PSN, PBS, Nasdaq or So-net.
We are being lied to and you cannot stop Americans from fighting for the truth. Sorry my friend is somewhat annoyingly enthusiastic in the video but it's one of the best hacks in recent memory so cut her a break.
For those who think this is fake and that the sign can not play color. http://bit.ly/mRfOUD
I suppose we have to go through this.
Someone has to show us that all is not as it appears.
As of December 2010, the group Anonymous has been working for the "free flow of information." Basically, they are against secrecy, except when it comes to their own identities. Hm.
The above hack was a little tirade against the Fox News slant. But are tirades what it's going to take to change Fox News?
When I got to be about 25 I found myself apologizing to my parents for how I had treated them when I was a teenager. It wasn't because I had realized that they were right. It was because I realized that being annoyed at someone is no way to change their mind. You have to do something that will actually increase their awareness. It takes skill and patience.
I sympathize with these guys. They are aware of things that many older people are trying to ignore. I hope they learn how to be effective!
