MEGAHACK on MURDOCH: all 1,024 News International web addresses are currently down

All of Rupert Murdoch's News International websites are now offline in the wake of the LulzSec hacker group's series of attacks earlier today.  News International's DNS servers and all 1,024 web addresses are currently down, according to James Ball, Data Journalist for The Guardian.

These claims seem accurate: websites for prominent UK newsrags The Sun, The Times, and News International are all inaccessible at the time of writing.  Earlier today The Sun homepage redirected to a false report of Rupert Murdoch’s death.  Later it directed visitors to the LulzSec twitter feed.

Currently News International is either being shut down by hackers or voluntarily pulled the plug on it's own servers to prevent additional hacks.  One certainty is that today billionaire media tycoon Rupert Murdoch got OWNED.  Let that be a lesson to all with the wealth, power, and influence to spin lies and promote an agenda while claiming to be "Fair and Balanced."

Murdoch's Sun Website Hacked, Reports Murdoch Died of Overdose

The attack on the Murdoch Media Empire is escalating to whole new levels.  Today Murdoch's Sun website was hacked and immediately redirected visitors to an article reporting that Murdoch died in his "famous topiary garden" after melting down and ingesting large quantities of the precious metal Palladium:

 

Hacker collective LulzSec is back in action and are claiming this attack.  Clearly they are the ones behind it, as earlier today The Sun's website was automatically redirecting visitors to the LulzSec twitter feed.

LulzSec is currently tweeting scorchers like the following to its 300,000 followers. 

At the time of writing http://www.thesun.co.uk/ is out of commission completely.  Good riddance.

As we all know, Murdoch is the billionaire media tycoon behind the Neo-Con spin machine Fox News and numerous other sketchy media outlets.  Apparently spreading blatant lies under the guise of mainstream reporting is no longer acceptable.

It's about time.

Young Murdoch looking creepy in happier days.  He's probably not looking so smug right now.

Please help spread the truth about Rupert Murdoch, Faux News, and the Media Monopolies which have held the world hostage for too long.

Fuck Rupert Murdoch. Fuck Fox News.

Rupert Murdoch, Crusty Old Goon

The complete and utter corporate takeover of our government is taking place.  The exceptionally blatant offenses being committed by Rupert Murdoch, holder of way too much communication power, make this blatantly obvious.

He's got all the current Republican candidates eating out of his hand.  If Rupert sez kill, they'll ask, "Who?" and "How many?"

Not cool.  Not cool at all.  Here's what Paul Krugman has to say...
