Was The Real News website hacked or are they being censored? Common Sense sez BOTH!

As I Google "The Real News" right now (7/20/2011 at ~11am PST), a peculiar results pages comes up warning "This site may harm your computer":

 

Clicking any of the Google links brings up this wall:

 

 Manually entering the Real News URL brings up this wall:

Clicking "Get me out of here!" brings me to a Google Search.  Clicking "Ignore this warning" merely reloads the same wall.  Clicking "Why was this page blocked?" brings up this:

Clicking "Ignore this warning" multiple times eventually brings me to a skeleton version of The Real News homepage.  Clicking any link on the homepage brings me back to:

The Real News is known for aggressively reporting on government, big business, and media corruption.  Over the last week, they have been covering the Rupert Murdoch scandal with telling video reports like "Rupert Murdoch Shaped British Politics For Forty Years":

This morning The Real News issued an email Press Release :

The Real News website has suffered a hack attack. If you visit the site you will be seeing various warning message. We are investigating the problem and are trying to repel the attack. This a serious and targeted assault on our site. We are working to fix this and identify who is responsible.

Who could possibly be behind the hacking?  Murdoch and Co?  Perhaps.  Some other powerful entity bent on controlling the media?  Just as likely, given The Real News aggressive reporting on the biggest issues.

Or could it be Anonymous, LulzSec, or other Hacktivists?  Very, very doubtful.

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."
