This is, of course, from the same network that won the right in court to lie to its audience. No wonder they don't like the Internet, it makes them look stupid!

The first rule of hacking, after all, is  "Don't get caught." And Fox newsman Darrell Phillipsmay have broken that rule, says <A href="http://valleywag.com/tech/drew-curtis/" title="Posts tagged as drew curtis" class="tagautolink">Drew Curtis</A>. Curtis, left, is the founder of <A href="http://fark.com/">Fark.com</A>, a thoroughly juvenile, and entertaining, <A href="http://valleywag.com/tech/social-news/" title="Posts tagged as social news" class="tagautolink">social news</A> site where users pick the headlines. Phillips, to his right, is the new media manager at <A href="http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/">WHBQ Fox13</A>, a <A href="http://valleywag.com/tech/news-corp%27/" title="Posts tagged as news corp." class="tagautolink">News Corp.</A>-owned TV station in Memphis, Tenn. And Curtis claims to have assembled all-but-conclusive electronic evidence that Phillips has tried to hack into <A href="http://valleywag.com/tech/fark/" title="Posts tagged as fark" class="tagautolink">Fark</A>'s servers, potentially breaking several laws.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://valleywag.com/tech/exclusive/fark-founder-accuses-fox-newsman-of-hacking-290286.php"><P>But consider this: Phillips's station has launched a news aggregator, <A href="http://onmemphis.com/">OnMemphis.com</A>. The hacker appears to have been hunting for source code and trying to log into Fark's Web-based moderation tools. A look at either would be helpful to someone designing a social-news website.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7749C4A4-2D1E-46F8-AA72-62064037D357/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
