FBI Raids Fox
Rueters -- Washington DC
12/10/2010


In a surprise move, acting on new guidelines supplied by the State Department, the FBI used 5 HRT teams to surround and then force their way into Fox News Corp headquarters in New York City. It is unknown at this time how many people were arrested.

When asked, FBI Director Robert Mueller stated that according to the new State Department rulings, "Any journalist having 'political objectives' or any 'political actor' was to be considered an enemy of the state". This was confirmed by State Dept. Assistant Secretary Philip Rowley. It was also confirmed that raids were coordinated in all fifty states.

It would seem that the United States is not going to sit back and let journalists that have a 'political objective' get in the way of government secrets. Political actors also need to be afraid. If you are going to report anything, you better get rid of any bias.


***UPDATE***

It has been determined that Sean Hannity is in custody. Glenn Beck is in hiding. It is reported that he is holed up with his gold and survival food. The FBI think he was able to escape the net due to his magic underwear. Rush Limbaugh was arrested in his Rentboy.com cabana. Sarah Palin is thought to be moose hunting to prove she has the cojones to be president.

A total of 209 people have been arrested throughout the country. The FBI stated that this is just the beginning to make sure that only what the government wants to get out, gets out.

1. Damn You!
I read of the arrests of Hannity, Beck, and Limpballs. It gave me an erection. Then I figured out I'd been spoofed.

4. Was Glenn Beck spinning around fast while his theme Song *WonderMormon* played?
The magic underwear made him invisible?
