Fox News, Media Networks Receive Threatening Letters

Fox News was one of a few media networks to receive threatening letters on Wednesday.

Fox News host Bret Baier did a report about the letters during his evening show, "Special Report." He said that the Fox News headquarters in New York City received one such letter, which included a warning that said some envelopes could contain a lethal pathogen. The letter would also include the return address, "The MIB."

Letters were also sent to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. The letters included claims that more were sent to The New York Times and NPR.

Reports indicate that the letters were sent from Portland, Oregon.

It is disturbing that nutcases are sending out threatening letters to ANYONE. That said though, I wonder if Fox ever looks at the thousands of ugly comments that their fans post at their website everyday. Some of them certainly sound like threats to me! Why do they allow them to remain up?

I know this---the Ron paul ppl are furious about the Iowa and Maine elections----the dirty tricks being used to block anything positive about Ron Paul as far as election results go----it hasn't been told in the MSM ----Blocking Ron Paul is a media problem as it appears they've co-operated with the blockage.

Yeah, of course "the media" are against Paul--just as it is against every one of the professional victims on the right whenever it doesn't do what they want. Paul should grow up or get lost--or both.

Not to wish biological mishap on anyone, but even if FAUX TV and its minions disappeared, no one important would miss it...

If this is a true reflection of what is happening, over at FOX, then once again, we see the FRANKENSTEIN principle, applied to what people do. What, huh.....you say? Let me explain:
FOX network, is fully aware that it plays a large part, in creating a red-meat, red-neck mentality within the core of their most-ardent viewers. So, folks, meet the MONSTER! And, as was so clearly illustrated in the story of FRANKENSTEIN, after the creator (in the movie, the doctor; in this scenario, FOX news) unleashes his monstrosity on the population, the monster, eventually goes out, becomes a destructive, and mentally inferior entity. And, in the end, it comes back to it's creator, to destroy that very creator. Cue: Sonny & Cher: "And, the beat goes on.........the beat goes on."

The venom they're spewing on air everyday is far more dangerous than whatever they got in that letter.
