“Sarah Palin Sucks” And Other Things Fox News Just Tweeted (UPDATED)


Gawker noticed the @AllFOXNews Twitter account was hacked around 5:30pmET – and it still appears to in the grasps of some 13-year-old boy (we’re guessing).

Sample tweet: “We want to make out with Barack Obama. That’s how much we love him.” And of course, a lot of naughty language. Take a look:
foxhacked_8-31

As of 6:30pmET, it still appears to be under the control of…well someone. According to the bio, this feed used to represent: “All The FOX News Twitter accounts in one place!”

Now Bill O’Reilly’s going to have to go after these non-fair-and-balanced Twitter hackers.

> Update: As of 6:38pmET, the account is now suspended. We have a call into Fox News to see what just happened.

> Update at 7pmET: Fox News tells us the account never belonged to them (and apparently was just someone taking their RSS feed – until today). Fox tells us they talked to Twitter about it and had the account taken down. Mystery solved! (The real Fox Twitter accounts: Twitter.com/foxnews, Twitter.com/foxbusiness.)

    I don’t think Bill will go after the hackers. He didn’t publicly acknowledge the hacking of his website last September. Also, he’s on vacation right now. This will be long forgotten when he returns next Tuesday.

    It’s too bad that they shut down the account. At first, I thought that they just decided to start telling the truth. Those had to be the most entertaining tweets I’ve ever read!!

    The Seven Best (Or, Somewhat Memorable) Moments Of The Jay Leno Show

    video

    After 95 episodes, the epic failure known as The Jay Leno Show airs its final episode tonight. Of course, Leno himself will be back after the Olympics, comfortably at 11:35pm all over again. Which was pretty much the problem to begin with - the 10pm offering started as a similar product to the Tonight Show, and only became more like the old format as time went on.

    No Surprise Here: FNC Dominates Ratings For Palin Tea Party Speech

    ratings

    • With all three cable news networks carrying Sarah Palin's tea party speech and Q&A after on Saturday night, Fox News was the clear winner in the ratings. During the 9pmET hour, FNC had more viewers in the A25-54 demographic than MSNBC, CNN and HLN combined. In total viewers, Fox News had more than double the combined total of the other three cablers.
