Well that's a complete crock. The outtage started at 1:30 AM Central time and hit those sites (Like the News Tribune Website) that contained internet ads the hardest. Blog sites and news sites that are not linked to places such as adsense and others were loading normally. It also effected weather sites and video streaming sites like The Weather channel, YouTube and Netflicks.
