I also experimented by going to the CARS site. Nothing at all as was described by Beck and his shrilly shilling "News Anchor" who was hosting his diatribe took place. No "Warning" dialog box was seen by me upon clicking on every link on the site that i could find . This "News Anchor," some hottie brunette, was saying that the site was installing "malware cookies" on the computers of folks who were navigating to the site. She is clearly an IT expert as well as having been a beauty queen prior to being hired up by Fox to be pimped to the viewing public. I saw that the computer Beck was using, one that he claims to have seen the dialog box on that said visitor's computers would be taken over by the government and become government property, was an HP running Windows. My machine is a Mac. Perhaps my test was therefore invalid, and the alleged government possession of one's computer is limited solely to Windows users. At any rate, Beck could not get that alleged dialog box to appear while he was on the air, and he reverted instead to displaying some text on screen to simulate what he claims to have seen. Too bad that outright lying on news programs is not illegal. His ass is covered and he knows it.
