HuffPo’s Danny Shea reports Fox News has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Homeland Security seeking the entire report on “right-wing extremist groups” identified as a national security threat.
Earlier this month, DHS issued a report warning law enforcement agencies that right-wing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on fears about the recession and the election of the first African American president.
There was no specific information that domestic terrorists are planning acts of violence. In its request, Fox News’ SVP of Legal and Business affairs writes, “Fox News has a particular urgency to inform the public about the facts behind this much-discussed Assessment.”
