Fox News, Media Networks Receive Threatening Letters

Posted: 02/23/12 03:43 PM ET | Updated: 02/23/12 03:56 PM ET

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."

1. So, what kind of nutjob sends letters threatening pathogens to faux news AND the comedy channel?

Don't worry, that's a rhetorical question.

3. A Poor Way To Protest

Sending letters is a poor way to protest and is counter productive and illegal.

What should be happening is protesting and demonstrating outside their studios and calling them out for lying and not covering the news.

Anyone who was going to send lethal powder to Fox wouldn't tell them, nor send small quantities in the mail when ventilation systems are so effective, and route the stuff exactly where you want it to go.

But there aren't any people like that, except perhaps in a Tom Tomorrow alternative universe.
