I CAN'T REACH FOXNEWS AGAIN -- it doesn't respond to pings, and a traceroute shows it as unreachable after an awful lot of weird hops. I assume it's under some sort of DNS attack again.

UPDATE: Now it's working. And I notice this defense of George Stephanopoulos' hosting "This Week."

Comments

Maybe you just suck at the internet?

I was able to get onto Foxnews.com at 9 pm Eastern.

Rats, I didn't even notice that you had comments enabled here then. I got through to Fox at about 8:32 Eastern

BTW Martin, I think that Fox story was about the attack on Thursday. This one is a different attack (if it is an attack).

Could just be a traffic issue, I guess. I was just suspicious because of what happened Thursday. I still can't reach 'em -- I'm not having trouble reaching any other site.

Ken,

Ok, thanks for the information.

Hi... You´re right, Glenn. I also tried the whole afternoon... And I thought it was here... Damn it! :/

Eric Burns is exactly right in his article on George Stephanopoulos. Conservatives should give Stephanopoulos a chance at his new position before they blast him. Not every Democrat is a left-wing liberal, as Burns eludes to.

Actually, it's better this way, if it weren't Stephie, it would have been someone just as left-leaning, but without the obvious left-leaning pedigree Stephie's already established by walking behind Clinton with a shovel. At least ABC isn't hiding their left-wing tilt.
