Comments on: Obama dead, according to Fox News http://derrenbrown.co.uk/blog/2011/07/obama-dead-fox-news/ The official Derren Brown Blog Mon, 07 May 2012 09:24:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: geekgirl1975 http://derrenbrown.co.uk/blog/2011/07/obama-dead-fox-news/#comment-89892 geekgirl1975 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 04:04:19 +0000 http://derrenbrown.co.uk/blog/?p=16617#comment-89892 Being a democrat living in America, and hearing the inaccurate news that Fox news puts out all the time, I read this tweet, calmly turned on the tv, saw no news stories were on, so I just ignored it. My reaction makes me sad actually - that something like a post from a national "news" organization about my president who I voted for being assassinated really didn't invoke much worry, rather an instant feeling of annoyance with trolls. Also, makes me sad that part of me really believes that the people at Fox news probably were secretly thrilled with the whole thing. And I'm about the least cynical person I know!

Hence the name Script Kiddies, probably. Just a bunch of bored trolls if you ask me. That’s not hacking, that’s brute-forcing a low security password. Hence the name Script Kiddies, probably.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fox News hire the hackers to write their headlines. At least it’s no less accurate than their usual journalism.

What kind of a sick person would fake something as terrible as that? I find it so annoying that lifeless hackers would stoop this low. Even if they actually did announce this without being hacked, people shouldn't believe it unless Barack Obama's official Twitter account said it. Also, this explains why #foxnewstwitterpassword is trending on Twitter. That’s just despicable! What kind of a sick person would fake something as terrible as that?
