Censorship at its finest would be more subtle.
Shutting down all news of any kind would achieve nothing useful for a censor. People would just get the news from somewhere else.
Could this be a DDoS attack?

It used to be the case that subs surfaced in the morning and were told to assume the worst if BBC World service wasn't transmitting. Not sure whether it is still true (or if it ever was) but have certainly heard the same thing.
I was looking at the site less than an hour ago but won't load now.

I seem to remember from somewhere that if the bbc world service goes down for more than half an hour then royal navy captains at sea have to assume we are at war.
