US Navy members blocked from getting Fox News

[WillowTree]

Obama is the commander of the entire Navy including IT department.

I really think any talking head that runs down Obama should not be available to the armed forces personnel. Same for any president. It cannot be good for troop moralle.

They should get the news with no slant or commentary.

you sound more communistic by the second.. keep talking.

FOXNews.com - Navy Denied Access to Fox News' Web Site

They can get other news sites, just not fox.

Coincidence?

Can't have our troops accessing a site that promotes terrorism, now can we?

Which one are you talking about? Al Jazerra or Fox?

So you are saying "lies" are not communistic?

Besides, Murdoch has said Fox is an opinion network and NOT news.

From the fox news site.

Members of the U.S. Navy were denied access to FoxNews.com for hours on Friday before service was finally restored shortly before noon ET, the Navy confirmed.

Cdr. Danny Hernandez, a Navy spokesman, said he was unable to offer an exact reason why access to Fox News' Web site had been blocked, but he said it most definitely was a technical issue.

"This was not a policy issue," Hernandez said.

Fox News received e-mails from Navy personnel around the world on Friday complaining that they could not gain access to the Web site. They said they were able to view numerous other news Web sites.

When they tried to access FoxNews.com, the following message appeared: "Access to this site has been denied in accordance with Navy policy to safeguard the security posture and/or to maintain the operational integrity of the NMCI."

Since blocks of web sites is done by DNS number, it is likely some low level clerk was given a bunch of numbers to key into the browser security deal, and most likely transposed one.

To be deny our military such fair and balance news has got to be a conspiracy.

I hope that is sarcasm.

Hmm could this be linked to the teabaggers move into the military?

Preventing subversion of military personnel is part of the military's job.

Umm and btw you are govt property in the service and do not have full rights.

The constant undermining of the POTUS by Fox is not a proper message for the troops.

Fox won a florida supreme court case making sure they can lie to the public with no reprocussions. Do we want our troops lied to?

No, we want the facists to make sure that troops can only hear pro-Obama propoganda.

If anyone has a right to hear free speech it's the troops. If they don't want to read foxnews.com, they don't have to go to the web site.

There you have it, a glitch for a few hours.

"Access to this site has been denied in accordance with Navy policy to safeguard the security posture and/or to maintain the operational integrity of the NMCI."

Apparently Fox accidentally posted this message as well.

Oops!

This lie again


One libtard reads something on Huff'n'puff that even they won't own, "sources close to the controversey...blah, blah, blah...", and all of a sudden it's undisputed fact in the libtard universe.

The couple wanted to do a PC attack piece on Monsanto's bovine growth hormones that they couldn't back up with facts. Fox's legal department told them to back up their rBGH causes cancer in humans accusations or drop the story. See, Fox doesn't do the "Informed sources tell us..." crap. They don't set themselve up for liable suits the way the couple wanted. It's called responsible journalism. In the end the couple lost on all counts in court and on appeal.


"I never got the basic journalism from these reporters," says Kawalerski, the assistant news director overseeing WTVT's investigative unit at the time. During months of editing, Kawalerski felt that Akre and Wilson repeatedly failed to come up with solid proof for claims made in their script.

Controversial Tampa TV Story Goes to Court  | American Journalism Review

And Fox (WTVT) never sued for the right to lie. The court decision in the whistle-blower/wrongful termination suit the couple brought against the Tampa station included a list of reasons why the suit had no merrit. Included in that list was an explaination of the FCC rules that apply and the method for generating those rules.

Why you interloping on KrustyFranks turf? He staked out the hack lying thingy a long time ago.

Your lame "libtard" name calling is a bit late and out of focus also.

I am a third(ormore) generation Republican looking back and up to Eisenhower and Goldwater. You on the other hand are a fruit fly.

Good thing that our military fights for freedom.

That's FreeDumb.

Another hard lefty that claims to be a republican

It seems that the lovers of freedom have unblocked fox news for the US Navy members now.

Coincidence?

No coincidence at all. ANOC is the most fucked up government organization to come into existence. All they are is a building full of reject nerds who couldn't manage a can/string network let alone the Navy's computer systems.

They're all a bunch of CONTRACTORS!
