No Fox News, eh? Awesome !!! Laughing

Ummmmm ... actually in all seriousness i betcha it's related to the coverage they're giving to the recent mass shooting / PSY-OPS at Virginia Tech.

Just a "theory".

That's what I thought, too... if so, then what would have been said that set off the Korean sensors that hasn't already been said on CNN and others?

It is blocked for my friend in Germany, so it must be something wrong with Fox's site, OR they have blocked non-USA people from seeing it (likely).

Probably in response to some kind of site attack.

My question is why would one go to Fox news in the first place?

Whenever I hear leftists claim to care about freedom of speech and the free flow of ideas and information, I remind myself of these kinds of reactions whenever FoxNews experiences some trouble.

Dyed-in-the-wool leftists just mouth platitudes. In fact, what they favor is censorship and the dictatorship of the proletariat as they alone conceive of it.

Never trust one with power. If the same happened to CNN or, worse yet, The Guardian, I'd be just as concerned.

If you need to ask, you're already half gone. March on lemmings! There's still room for you with the pigs at the animal farm.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others, eh?

I'm in godless, commie Vietnam and it's working fine here right now.

There's nothing up to warrant a South Korean block on the site.

Maybe it was just a server issue.

Yeah, it works for me. Still has that terrible layout, though.
