Secret Service Blasts Fox News 'Blathering' In Rogue Tweet

Not even the Secret Service is immune to Twitter overshares.

The Secret Service Twitter account, which launchedMay 9, posted a tweet, since deleted, blasting Fox News.

According to retweets by other users and screenshots of the tweet posted to Twitter, the Secret Service tweeted on Wednesday afternoon, "Had to monitor Fox for a story. Can't. Deal. With. The. Blathering." (See screenshot below)

The rogue tweet disappeared almost immediately--and suggests that the Secret Service has at least one iPad on hand.

Was the Secret Service's account hacked? Or did someone post to the wrong account? And does this land the Secret Service a spot on the list of worstTwitter PR fails?

Check out our post on tweets that got people fired, and tweets that got people arrested.
