ANONYMOUS SAYS IT WILL TAKE DOWN THE FOX NEWS WEBSITE October 25, 2011
(NATIONAL) -- 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.”
