Because every news outlet to ever report on Anon has been accurate in their portrayal of who or what Anon is.
I guess I'll need to say this again; things like this are made all the time. I remember previous efforts in the earlier months by some of Anon to do the same thing in fact. It never got anywhere.
Hell, I remember a earlier fox report a few years ago that took something so seriously minor and bumped it up to something so ridiculous it was hilarious.
If anything, by the mere fact of this being reported as news, it might actually build up support for it.
But again I'll have to repeat this it seems for people who don't like to listen; it's not a super secret group. It's a bunch of people on the internet posting ideas that sometimes gain a stampede of support. That's it. Nothing more. Stop being stupid. Seriously.
Why people choose to assume everything and anything posted on 4chan
is the word of all of Anon is absolutely unbelievable.
Yes, I'm the presumptive one who is suggesting an image macro and a news report is evidence that one of the literally hundred crusades called on the internet every single day is legitimate and will build up steam.

You call me stupid, i could call you presumptuous.
Anon is, as you describe, not a "group" but more of an ideological meme. A concept. It is hard for people to understand such loose groupings without understanding the internet meme culture. I get this.
Firstly, unrelated to the above, why do you need to misconstrue and misread what I said?
Geez, why do you have to make it extreme one way or the other?
See, I never said that. And considering it's a page back, I don't think I need to prove I never said this. Because I didn't, but feel free to quote me where I said "This announcement is bull". Now, going back to the whole "understanding what Anon is", you don't seem to understand this because you consider this an announcement. Again, because some jackoff can make an image macro doesn't mean a damn thing. And just because a news agency reported this, which has in the past, and like every news agency, hilariously misreported something Anon doe, doesn't mean a god damn thing. You can't seem to get this for some reason.
You say that the tactic change announcement is bull.
I say that there is evidence supporting it. You reply by telling me i am stupid? Is that what passes for dialogue in your world?
Clearly, I'm telling you how Anon works considering I've been heavily involved with this sort of stuff since before the site 4chan was ever even imagined in moots mind. Before this concept or "group" some people like to think this as was even called Anonymous. Frankly, if you want to know if Anon is actually going to do this you could seriously simply ask considering I know for a fact this has been brought up several times in the past and up till now, garnering very little support.
I don't care how "inside" you may want to think you are.
Your manufactured snobbery is off putting. Please, if we are to continue discourse, inject some civility into your tongue before hitting reply.
I haven't seen this on any single *chan site. Not 7chan. Not 420chan. Not 99chan. Not 12chan. Not one single chan, of which all usually get involve, and several of which has the board /i/ known as INVASION which exists solely to plan these sort of things.
This hasn't appeared on several wiki and data dumping sites, whose purpose is to organize, explain, and record things like this that occur.

'The game has changed. When the game changes, so too must our strategies.
Begin searching through Wikileaks. Find only the best, least exposed leaks you can get your hands on. Post summaries of these, along with the complete source.'
Yes they are playing the same game as the media....spin.....
