Faux News actually published this story today on FoxNews.com

Nov. 15, 2011: Sanitation workers gather at Zuccotti Park, the longtime Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York, Last week to begin cleanup. Private workers for Brookfield Properties discovered an assortment of weapons hidden in flower beds throughout the former base camp of the protest movement.

Despite the scary headline and dark reference to assortment of weapons the article is about one kitchen knife and some cardboard tubes with metal pipes inside.

Officials from the NYPD would only confirm that one knife was found buried in a planter on Tuesday. But the haul was believed large enough for Brookfield Security workers to collect them in the real estate company’s headquarters across from the park.

Yep, Faux News … fair and balanced.
