White House Fake Emergency Alert Causes Panic In U.S.

"Mainstream media" frauds CNN and Fox "News" now playing the fake terror game for all it is worth to keep ratings maxed out, hyping fear and panic to new levels and then backing off when it begins to effect the bottom line of their corporate masters by causing real panic

Fake emergency alert messages on US TV and radio stations have sparked fear of an imminent threat possibly from Ebola or the ISIL terrorists, a report says.

The fake emergency alert announcement appeared across televisions in Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, North Carolina, and possibly other states, on Friday, claiming to come from the White House, the Hill reported on Saturday.

The message read: "This station has interrupted its regular programming at the request of the White House to participate in the Emergency Alert System."

However, no real alert message followed.

The radio and TV stations do not have the power to interrupt or dismiss the Emergency Alert signal as it is automatically sent by the federal government.

Later, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) blamed the matter on a radio broadcast that set off the alerts due to a glitch in the system.

“There was an inappropriate playing of the national emergency alert notification tones on a syndicated radio broadcast,” said FEMA spokesman Rafael Lemaitre. “Certain alerts, like the one broadcast today, are designed to be automatically picked up and rebroadcasted by other radio and TV station.

FEMA and the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) are currently working with broadcasters to determine the full scope of the situation.”

Frothing at the mouth, illiterate Fox "News" propagandist Leland Vittert hypes bogus "ISIS chemical attack" to keep ratings jacked to the max; will the public take seriously a "news" organisation that can't even hire literate copy editors?

In December 2011, an unannounced test of emergency alert system caused panic in New Jersey after some were told they had to “take shelter” as a “civil emergency” was underway.
