It's the Foxbots you have to look out for


Yesterday, Fox posted a scaremongering story entitled Scientist: Terrorists May Use Robots in Future Attacks. The story relies on the incredibly lazy “journalism” of simply reporting on a press release and embellishing it with a few facts the reporter no doubt gathered by typing the word “robot” into Google.

[From Scholars and Rogues » Fox News says terrorists are sending killer robots after us!]

Dude, this is really scary stuff. I am unplugging my vacuum cleaner now.
