Fox in the henhouse

Murdoch/Fox goes beyond “news”

Reporter Christopher Bollyn writes in Did Rupert Murdoch Have Prior Knowledge of 9/11?, “Less well known, however, is the fact that Murdoch produced a television pilot in 2000, which predicted with uncanny accuracy the attacks of 9/11.” The pilot for the program, “The Lone Gunmen,” was a spin-off based on characters from Fox’s well-known “X-Files.” It was produced by a Murdoch owned company, Canadian Millennium Productions, Ltd., in New York and Vancouver Canada from March 20 to April 7, 2000. The show’s main characters were “counterculture patriots” who published a “news” weekly, “The Lone Gunmen.”
