Title: 4chan on the news yet again
Post by: Samus Aran on November 15, 2007, 12:17:10 AM
The local L.A. Fox News station did a story on 4chan raids and "hacks" (using stolen passwords) into Myspace.

http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=4938627&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=3.2.1

I like how they never specifically mention the site. I also like how they zoomed in on "internet hate machine."

Fox News likes reporting on 4chan's misdoings, overreacting and and treating 4channers like horrible terrorists. Of course, they never really actually say it's 4chan, but it's pretty obvious.

Yeah, I saw /b/ in the video a couple of times. But why 4chan? I never really got into it, so I have no clue what their ideals are and shit.  psyduck;

Uh well, despite the fact that /b/ is "not your personal army, etc." many /b/tards still take delight in invasions and raids, and Myspace is no exceptions.

And /b/ doesn't really have a specific set of ideals. If you post personal information, some will fuck you up, some won't. There actually are nice /b/tards...sort of.

That's the same channel that reported on anonymous last time. This one wasn't as good as the last one though :(


Of course it wasn't as good. They didn't say as many ridiculous things, and they didn't have any good interviews or anything.

I love how they're acting like the raiders are professional hacking terrorists that are able to break through any site's database and steal passwords. It's also hilarious how Fox takes them so seriously.

That too. What the fuck was with that in the original anyway?

"Hey guys let's demonstrate a van exploding via 'dirty bomb' even though it doesn't really have any relevance to the threat at all"
