Title: Fox News Main Site Messed Up

Don't ever remember this happening? Is it there mess up, a new setup, or could it be a breach? It's very odd.

It does seem to be broke.

Very slow load times... I wonder if they're experiencing  a high traffic load or some sort of attack.  Neither one sounds out of place.

Yeah, I instantly thought attack. I've heard of idiots attacking the site before, but never actually seen it happen. Wasn't sure this was "Breaking News" either, so I put it here in GD.

I'm sure the Obama Admin would like very much to get rid of "Fair and Balanced."

I'm just worried, because it's not showing the usual homepage articles, and stuff it usually shows. Hopefully, it's restored soon, or I hear something about it on the channel.

If it is an attack and not a system failure or traffic load, I would suspect the Chinese.

It looks more like someone made a change internally that changed the way their front page appears/loads.

I've seen other sites get messed up like that. Recently Facebook did the same thing and IMAO  (http://www.imao.us/) is experience the same thing right now.

Looks like it's back to normal now, though. I was worried for a bit.

IMAO is back to normal, also. Maybe they share a host.
