5. But look at the big graphic of the Pentagon behind the ...
Edited on Sun Jul-17-11 02:59 PM by Botany
.... "Fox-pert" and the Pentagon's security breech is no doubt the fault of the Red Chinese
and what about the hacking @ Citicorp too? So the real problem is all this hacking that is
going on and on but the media is just piling on Murdoch because they don't want to report
all the real problems in this country.

:puke:

Are they really serious w/ this shit?
James Murdoch signed the checks to pay for the hacking and the bribes which were no doubt approved of by his Dad.

9. Well, I don't know--I do know I want to see
what falls out of the tree. Are there others out there who hack? Sure, I suppose there is but how Many can there be? It can't be That easy without being detected, unless you buy off top cops etc? Or is it really just a matter of fat wallets? I honestly don't know. I suspect the majority of this particular behavior/scandal will tie Back to murdoch and co.

7. Fox is trying to sound like they were the ones hacked
Look away, look away....there was hacking going on but who did what isn't important. Hacking is a problem, so it shouldn't be allowed, but it isn't as important as having a Very Important Adult Conversation about giving your pension to the Job Creators!

10. Uh-oh. Had to hire an expert at changing the topic and pulling the wool over
the viewer's eyes to handle this one.

They are really, really in deep and struggling to keep their viewers uninformed and armed with talking points.

This is funny.

Of course, hacking is wrong. That's why it is illegal. That's why no matter how "anonymous" you are, you spend some of your time confined in a very small space in the absence of luxury or comfort if you do it.

Murdoch -- Are You Ready For This?

And it wasn't "a long time ago." The cover-up if not the News Corp hacking was quite recent.

It was huge. It was ugly. And Rupert Murdoch's reputation as well as that of his company is ruined if wasn't already.

Every story Fox has run about any celebrity will be scrutinized as to source. The high and mighty who have been "outed" as to their personal weaknesses by Fox are hiring lawyers right now. There may be money to be made in the civil courts on this one. And revenge is sweet even for the very, very, very prominent.

18. Come on, JD. This is old news. Quit with the re-hashing of old monkey-business. We have bigger fish
to fry.

:sarcasm:

Can you believe they are already saying "Time to move on"? They haven't even covered it!

Un-fucking-believable.

Sadly it is not only believable, but predictable.

Words fail me. Over and out. It is just too much to fathom. Help me.

12. Eric Bolling goes ballistic because he fails to remember that 9-11 happened under Bush.
That was a sign that people are fed up with their BS and will call them out when they do it again.

Meanwhile, Murdoch takes a huge hit for their hacking scandal. Now, their Newscorp acts like ignoring it will make it not happen.

We can only hope we're seeing the beginning of the end of the Murdoch media empire.

16. misdirection / conflate the topic - will it work on the foxheads?
What blatant misdirection,. trying to tie the hacking and invasion of privacy (and manipulations, deleting emails, etc.) that where DONE BY new corp. with completely unrelated, and not even close to the same ballpark, incidents of military/corporations being hacked FROM THE OUTSIDE! Will this fool the fox faithful? Sure it will. We still have dimwits spamming forums with claims that hacked emails "prove" AGW is a fraud,. even after sane people have actually looked through said emails and found nothing of the sort,. it is the ability to LIE about an issue and do it repeatedly that fools people into believing the lie is true. Then they echo the lies at each other, over and over,. and convince themselves that they are wise, and any one that disagrees is being duped. Fox News is dirty,. you know they have been up to the same crap as the rest of their corporate propaganda media empire. We can only hope this truth comes to light, and that disgusting, lie spewing, hate spreading, destroyer of reason network and all it's connected media outlets are shut down and the fools pushing the BS are imprisoned.

Really, free speech needs to be tempered with strong slander, defamation, or libel laws that are enforced. Saying that we should do something about "all the hacking" as a misdirection from your company being caught hacking is utter nonsense and should cause your network to lose its licence to broadcast such misleading crap,. . broadcasting is a privilege not a right. (limited airwaves/bandwidth) A mechanism needs to be put in place to shut down malicious spreaders of anti-knowledge. America has been dumbed down quite enough,. stop the mind killers.
