foxnews.com hacked?

[Derek Trotter]

I just figured out what happened.  I copied the url from the link on the 
foxnews.com page yesterday. Someone there made a mistake.  Instead of 
putting in www.foxnews.com they put wwwfoxnews.com.  Once I corrected 
the typo, I got the article I was supposed to.
