LulzSec Redirects ‘The Sun’ Homepage To Fake Murdoch Death Story

That's sort of like telling insurgents that they should engage in an infantry battle instead of roadside bombs. You can disagree with the cause but it's pretty obvious, given their capabilities, that they have to play by different rules.

Lulzsec don't have a half dozen global media organizations to push their point of view -- they have funny website redirects and email dumps. So that's what they're doing.

EDIT: Hey downmodder, read, I gave you permission to disagree with the cause if you want. Comment is about tactics.

If we're torturing analogies, that's like a child saying "but he started it!"

There seems to be a momentum developing based on adults who have been maintaining pressure on this story through legal investigative journalism... setting fire to a paper bag filled with shit on their doorstep and ringing the bell doesn't help.

(edit: didn't downvote you btw... that's for the drive-by kids)
