I never said that the Washington Independent hacked anyone. You didn't read the thread, thoroughly look at the linked site, or understand my comments yet you commented on it as some internet expert. You can't be this daft.
OK, so to what "biased" site was I supposed to have been redirected while visiting the Bamford site? Which I did do, a number of times before it shut down, all without being redirected, much less to a "biased" site.
And, based on the Washington Independent link in your original post, the motivation to hack the site on their behalf by them or anyone else is minimal. So, you obviously got confused and jumped to an unwarranted conclusion.
