Did Drudge just get hacked?
The Drudge Report ^ | 2/29/16 | Vanity

Posted on 02/29/2016 5:40:15 PM PST by Company Man

Following one of those auto-refesh dealies, a new banner title now says "THOUSANDS OF MA DEMS QUIT PARTY; BACK TRUMP", but the link resolves as '502 Bad gateway'

The metadata at the bottom of the browser says it's a story at BostonHerald.com, but the link returns 502 Bad Gateway.

Chances are the link is no longer valid for whatever reason.

Might be so many people clicked on it, the server crashed.

Drudge is not hacked.

The Boston Herald website just got overwhelmed.

Thanks. Your link works but I still can’t get there from Drudge Report. Damn Innerwebz!

Maybe. CNN is pulling tricks though. Look at the following URL address and indexing:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/29/politics/donald-trump-nascar-endorsements/index.html

But the link pulls you into a CNN video of the KKK controversy entirely created by the media.

Drudge just works that way sometimes, on my computer at least.

It just worked for me also. I think the server got overwhelmed, so many people clicking on it that it had the same result as a denial of service attack.

Very interesting article and consistent with what my wife and I are observing here. Everything the GOPe has been doing to hurt Trump is actually convincing Democrats that he is their man.

502 probably means the server is crashing due to traffic.

Big news. I am surprised the Boston Herald reported on it.
