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

by Steve Krakauer | 6:34 pm, August 31st, 2009

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!!

Obama’s Final Push On Health Care To Democratic Caucus On Capitol Hill

by Drew Grant | 5:14 pm, Saturday

video

President Barack Obama spoke in the conference hall of the Capitol today about the health care reform bill which is coming close to meeting enough votes to pass in the House of Representatives, which earlier today decided not use the "deem and pass" strategy to railroad the bill through Congress. "I know this is a tough vote for some of you," said our president, adding "Don't do it for Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid, or me. Do It for the American People." Pay attention folks, this speech is definitely one for the history books.
