Is this a joke? All I see is a normal Google SERP's page. EDIT: I see what your point now. Almost all the results in pages 2 and 3 are redirecting to that of CNN. I don't think it has been hacked though. Someone is just gaming google for this keyword.
A lot of those sites are reported Attack Sites on Firefox. People who aren't using the Firefox with Google toolbar probably won't notice anything. Just because they're "dodgy" sites doesn't mean Google won't rank them and it's nothing at all to do with Google being hacked.
yeah I see many of "blackberry news", each site I got this message "Reported Attack Site!" in firefox
In chrome these sites redirect to the CNN website while in firefox these sites trigger a Norton warning - HTTP fake AV redirect request 2
Probably just someone that has found a way to get into the top SERPs. Just give Google a day (at most) and the SERPs will be fixed again.
its not gogle that is hacked, its the sites that are showing on SERP results that are either compromized or scammed
It's nothing more than infected servers posting trend news. I'm glad Google Trends cut itself down to showing only the top 40, in order to halve the spam.
