It sure looks that way, argues David Fiderer at Huffington Post. By relentless hyping the so-called “Climate-gate” story, which is built around stolen emails that were obtained by hackers, as well as calling out other news organizations for not jumping on the story, Fiderer suggests Fox News is guilty of legitimizing an obvious act of cyber-terrorism.

Writes Fiderer:

George Will, Lou Dobbs and Newt Gingrich have all lent their support to this broad-based campaign effort by Fox News to legitimize the work of criminals who lurk in the shadows. The criminals, who remain unidentified and still at large, stole confidential e-mails, selectively edited them, and disseminated them to promote the crackpot belief that the scientific case for global warming is not rock solid.
