Fox News Ticker Hack of the Day: YouTuber hiropro999 claims to have hacked the news ticker outside News Corp.’s New York offices, with video evidence to prove it.
He writes:
Hello
Last night I hacked into the FoxNews news ticker on 6th avenue in NYC.Here’s the video. If you’d like to know why, just read the message in the hack.
I accessed the Fox ticker basically to get your attention. Also because Fox deserves it: they’re the 24/7 mouthpiece of the right wing. They are huge perpetuators of the big lie.
Fox News hasn’t commented on the alleged hack, and nobody else on the web seems to have seen it happen. Plus, there’s something fishy about a one-color LED ticker suddenly flashing multiple colors before the message changes.
This feels quite a bit like the Times Square screen “hack” back in March that turned out to be a viral promotion for the movie Limitless.
I’m still holding out hope that it’s real, though, because it would make for some great Daily Show and Colbert Report bits.
