Fox News’ Mysterious Article Removal: What Happened to the Pentagon’s Bunker Busters?
In a curious turn of events, an old article from Fox News detailing the Pentagon’s enhancements to “bunker buster” bombs has vanished from the network’s website. This report, originally published in 2013, discussed updates to the U.S. military’s 30,000-pound bombs specifically designed to penetrate Iran’s fortified nuclear facility at Fordow.
The disappearance of the piece raises some eyebrows. Upon clicking a link to the article, readers are met with a 404 error—indicating that the content is no longer accessible. However, those who are aware of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine can still find the archived version here.
The original article elaborated on the Pentagon’s modifications to the GBU-57 bomb, emphasizing its capability to penetrate deep into the earth—a feature that seems especially pertinent considering the current geopolitical climate. With rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, the sudden removal of this piece is puzzling.
What makes this situation even more intriguing is the lack of any notification or redirect from Fox News. Instead, the article has been completely erased, raising questions about the motivations behind such a decision. While some might speculate about potential cover-ups or censorship, others might wonder why now, in the context of renewed discussions about military interventions, Fox News would choose to erase this historical narrative.
Has anyone else observed similar occurrences where reports on military or foreign policy topics have been quietly removed? It’s an interesting phenomenon that deserves further examination.
Stay tuned as we delve deeper into this story and explore the implications of disappearing narratives in the realm of journalism and public discourse.
