Are Conservative Feeds On Bloglines Being Hacked?

A strange thing just happened. Several minutes ago I opened up my Bloglines and several conservative sites show the max number of posts---200. These sites include NewsBusters, Hot Air, and National Review. I read all these sites earlier today so no way they could reach 200 at this time. Also this makes it so the posts listed on their are outdated.

NONE of my non-political nor non-conservative sites have had this problem. What's up? If you have Bloglines, check this out for yourself.

Is this some sort of hack attack on bloglines where conservative feeds are singled out?

On bloglines? When the post count hits 200, the latest feeds stop appearing. This is a way to see the latest posts from those sites. On my Bloglines this happened with NewsBusters, Hot Air, and National Review.

I think Bloglines is having some kind of serious database problems . . . I first noticed it Sunday morning when it tried to give me around 1,200 newspaper articles. It was down on Sunday, and I just tried and it's down again right now. I don't think it's a conspiracy thing. Of course, that's what THEY want me to think, isn't it?

Yeah, I remember it was down on Sunday. First time that ever happened. Maybe I have my tinfoil hat on but the ONLY sites which were affected today were conservative sites although some conservative sites are okay.

FR posting engine stole my *grin* at the end of my post, in case you wondered.

My guess is that it’s hitting people differently—for me it wasn’t my rather large subscription list of conservative blog sites or somewhat smaller list of science & technology sites, but it was the MSM newspaper sites’ feeds that I subscribe to.

I’m still getting the “Bloglines Plumber” screen when I hit’em, as of right now 3:17 pm CDT.

It’s fine.

I’ve been there all day and there have been no outages in a long, long time.

Try again.
