New York, New York, U.S. - Last week's NYC subway terrorism scare has been revealed to be a hoax which conveniently shifted attention away from Mayor Michael Bloomberg's refusal to take part in the Mayoral debates. The phony terrorism scare shows that the president isn't the only one who can deceptively manipulate the news in order to appear tough and embattled. News of the terror threat was circulated among rich business executives a full three days before the public was told, which is probably what will happen if there are genuine threats in the future.
