Howard Stern called an 'idiot' after comparing Sony hacking to 9/11 terror attack
San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | 16 DEC 2014 | Debbi Baker

The New York Daily News blasted Howard Stern and called him an “idiot” Tuesday after the radio host compared the Sony hacking assault, in which embarrassing emails and other papers were released, to the terrorist attack on 9/11 that left almost 3,000 people dead.

The front page newspaper headline declared the self-described “King of all Media” as the “Cringe of all Media” and on the inside pages it published a photo of Stern next to a picture of the World Trade Center towers on fire.

“Hey Howard… this is 9/11, idiot,” the copy blared.

They never noticed that he’s always been an idiot?

According to headlines, there currently stands a “9-11 style attack” threat on theaters that show The Interview.

I am guessing that Howard stern is one of those that will be hurt from the document dump that the hackers are promising at Christmas.

Howard’s attitude is kind of right here, what they’re doing goes beyond ordinary and typical criminality.

Howard has a valid point. The same group that hacked Sony's computers have now successfully used fear and terror to get the ending of a movie altered to be less offensive to the leader of North Korea. Let that sink in a moment. And as it sinks in, know that the same group will probably be at least somewhat successful in using threats to prevent the distribution of said film and in preventing people from going to see it.

Let it also sink in that this film, as silly as it may be, is still political commentary. So these Sony hackers are using fear and terror to tell people that they had better not go see a movie offensive to North Korea, under threat of death - ON AMERICAN SOIL.

Hey Daily News. Does this bother you in the slightest?

The terror attack on 911 killed innocent victims. The "terror attack" on Sony exposed despicable hypocrites, some of whom are now outraged yet supported Donald Sterling losing his team over leaked confidential conversations.

Sony was a proper attack. It exposed people who put themselves above others and don't expect to be held accountable. It's a non-lethal use of someone's hacking ability that has us thinking about if assassinating real leaders should be a topic of comedy.

How does that in any remote way compare to 911?

Poll at bottom.
“Is Howard Stern an idiot for comparing the cyber-attack on Sony to 9/11?

Yes, of course. No one died in the Sony hack attack.

No. This is an act of agression on the U.S. by another country and should be treated as such.

He was already an idiot.”

read the story and:

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!***
FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!)
And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin’, if I miss them.
(looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Delight in it all you want. Granted. It is very easy to do so. But do not forget the agenda of the hackers. They are pro North Koreans trying to censor free speech.

It's a non-lethal use of someone's hacking ability that has us thinking about if assassinating real leaders should be a topic of comedy.

Warm feelings for Kim Jung Un much?

The next thing he will compare Sony to is the School Massacre in Pakistan.

Howard Stern is what New York City is has become..

He might be successful and quite wealthy, but Stern is and always has been a perpetually adolescent idiot with some serious personal issues.

The only long exposure I’ve ever had to his show was on 9/12/2001, or perhaps the 13th — he said the 9/11 terrorist mass-murders required a genocidal response toward Islam. He was correct.
