Faux News

Keeping up the tradition of seasonal scares, the New York Post (10/26/15) published a story about a potential “Halloween Revolt”: an attack by anarchists on police nationwide.

A group known as the National Liberation Militia, the Post reported, has been planning to dress up in masks like normal trick-or-treaters and use this disguise to sneak up on and assault cops in some coordinated fashion. The story was quickly picked up by CBS News, Fox News and NBC News, all of whom breathlessly alerted the public about this spooky-themed threat to police.

Is there an “anarchist revolt” scheduled for Halloween? Unlikely. But millions of Americans now think there is, and ultimately that’s all that matters.

  FAIR
Well, that's not ALL that matters. What else matters is that when Fox News reported the story to its millions of minions, it was reported, falsely, that the group was founded by ex-Black Panthers. The group is white.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE: November 1, 2015



The FBI kept you safe again!
