And who else could have arranged that but the chief Aluminati itself.

Rogue 4 July tweets on TV news channel's politics service go viral but Fox News is apparently back in control
Fox News has apparently fallen victim to hacking, with its politics Twitter feed repeatedly announcing President Barack Obama had been shot dead.
@foxnewspolitics began tweeting the information to its 33,000 followers at about 2am local time, with the posts rapidly being shared around the internet.
The rogue tweets appeared to begin after the account sent a message saying Fox had just "regained full access to our Twitter account".
The following tweets all related to the supposed death of Obama, with some posts being very specific about the president's injuries.
"@BarackObama has just passed. The President is dead. A sad 4th of July, indeed. President Barack Obama is dead," came the first tweet. The string of messages continued:
"@BarackObama has just passed. Nearly 45 minutes ago, he was shot twice in the lower pelvic area and in the neck; shooter unknown. Bled out", and then: "@BarackObama shot twice at a Ross' restaurant in Iowa while campaigning. RIP Obama, best regards to the Obama family."
Whatever the hoaxer's identity, they do not appear to have been entirely web-savvy. The first three posts revealing the president's death were directed to the @BarackObama Twitter feed, meaning only those following both accounts would have seen the messages.

I don’t know about riots but this could blow back on
the hackers bad.
Look for the hacker(s) to get a “friendly visit” from the secret service.
And who else could have arranged that but the chief Aluminati itself.
dittos......

Duuude. It’s, like, playing an album backwards but with, like, a can.
“O is ded.” Eerie.
Yeah, backwards it’s, Biden is prez, Biden is prez...
Well you know this has to come from hackers for Media Matters or such. Just a way to hurt FOX who they have mounted a major campaign against.
That’s the first thing I thought.
No kids, it’s called terrorism...
hurt FOX.
This hurts us all and makes a day of celebration
all about Obama.
Whoever did this is lower than low.
Maybe these scriptkiddies think they are funny, but stuff like this could have more serious consequences than just hurting FOX.
Sad part is the the O admin is probably behind it in a roundabout way.
That was me when I just started to drink my first cup of coffee and seeing THAT!
They certainly tend to bring out the CRAZY in their
followers. Over the line is what they live for.
lousy passwords most likely
If Barack Obama had half a sense of humor he would respond to this like Mark Twain was once reported to have done upon seeing his supposed obituary — “the reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.” And otherwise leave it alone while the Secret Service quietly investigates. That’s probably what George W. Bush would have done. Incidentally, George W. Bush broke the supposed zero-year curse on US presidents — nobody made an assassination attempt upon him and he survived to leave office, although he narrowly dodged a thrown pair of sandals in Iraq. Would this suggest that the curse goes to the next president?
Thats a silly comment. Foxnews doesn’t deserve to exist because someone guessed their password?
Does the CIA deserve to exist because someone hacked their website? Does the DoD deserve to exist? They get hacked on a daily basis.
“With all the supposed security, how do hackers get control of accounts on Twitter and elsewhere?”
They guess a password.
“Fair and balanced” Fox has liberals as well as conservatives on its staff. Possibly one of the more deranged liberals got access to Fox’s Twitter password.
