Huffington Post News Twitter Hacked By Foul-Mouthed Conservatives (UPDATE)
Ah, this never gets old, does it? It appears that Huffington Post RSS-style feed of links through Twitter — located @HuffPostNews — has been hacked by dirty-talking, self-proclaimed conservatives. The attack began about 1 hour ago with a crude attack on Keith Olbermann. Other targets include Barack Obama, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz. In other words, no surprises.
Who knows how much longer the online 140-character mutiny will last, but for posterity, here’s a screenshot:

UPDATE: Interestingly, The Huffington Post is now saying the account was a fake that someone else had set up and was using. This seems to be the case every time a news organization is hacked. And whether or not the accounts were always unaffiliated, it seems to be a problem reoccurring enough that perhaps the occasional purge of fake accounts, in partnership with Twitter, would be well worth some intern’s time.
