Fox News Twitter feed says Obama dead in apparent hack
(CNN) - Hackers apparently broke into the FoxNews.com's Twitter feed for political news early Monday and used it to announce - falsely - that President Barack Obama had been assassinated.
Obama was "shot twice at a Ross' restaurant in Iowa while campaigning. RIP Obama, best regards to the Obama family," read one of several Twitter messages posted on @FoxNewsPolitics early Monday.

"Hacked"? Yea right.
Disgusting
So Fox News claims that its Twitter server was hacked. I doubt that. It is more likely that this was a intentional act. I expect nothing less from Fox News.
The Secret Service will be all over this. This is the same as threatening the United States of America because the President is not a private citizen, The office of the President represents the National interest of every American citizen. Anything done on a computer can be tracked down. Fox news has denegrated the hightest office in our Country. Fox news is owned by foreign interests and they should be investigated for trying to undermine our Country.
It is sad that some people get their kicks out of spreading false information.....Oh wait this happened at Fox News. It was probably an inside job.
Anytime something is connected to Fox News there is a very good chance it is a lie. I would expect that the people responsible will be found and charged to the fullest extent of the law. This lie is a direct danger to the country and puts everyone at risk while the outright lie makes it way out in Twitter world. Someone is in for some serious jail time for this prank and desreves to have a very top priority placement.
Are people mentaly sick??? I also doubt about hackers. We witnessed recently someone saying his account was hacked ( and sent an unappropriate pic) and later it was proved not true!
Yea I bet It was hack. I bet It was just FOX NEWS. They should just take Fox news off the Air.
