Fox News' Five-Minute Terrorist Attack (VIDEO)
Evan McMorris-Santoro and Jon Terbush | October 15, 2010, 1:26PM

In the space of about five minutes this morning, Fox News turned a shutdown of the Brooklyn Bridge over a suspicious flashlight into an international terrorist threat before dismissing the whole thing like it never happened. It's a classic example of Fox News fear-mongering -- in this case, based on Fox's own fear-mongery "scoop" that's been a central narrative of the network's broadcast day.

1. Damn! She's HOT!

What did she say? I think I need to close my eyes and keep the sound on next time.

4. I think you'd be better off...

Turning off the sound and just watching her lips move. It is Fox, after all.

[Crazy Dave]

8. I don't mind the ones who read the headlines

It the opinion shows I can't watch or listen to.

Shepard Smith and I used to be co-workers and friends a long time ago so I watch him at 7pm just to support his ratings, not FOX.

5. So the next time

Some kid sets off some fire works, Fox News will claim its a terrorist attack and that everyone should get out their plastic sheets for protection. Unbelievable. Yada! Shinjirarenai. Baka-mitau, Fuzaken-ja nëyo!

6. Gosh, whodathunk the "War of the Worlds" radiocast idea would actually be prophetic.

7. Sometimes the Daily Show just writes itself, doesn't it?

[Weird Liberal Head]

9. AGHHHH!!!

PANIC!!! PANIC!!! PANIC!!!
Never mind...
Fixed Noise gets ratings through fear. Wouldn't be surprised if they were hoping something bad was happening on the Brooklyn Bridge...

11. Fire-Starter Flashlight ALERT ALERT ALERT Kpete!

Guys from Extreme Geek built a very high powered flashlight, that capable of lighting things on fire, roasting marshmallows, or blinding your would-be attacker.
