Google News Hacked?

Google News Hacked?
I hate people who screw up our online ecosystem, but it looks like someone just did this incredible hack. At the very least, there must have been some kind of odd bug at Google.
As of 10:30 a.m. PDT or so, this is what you'd see on Google News if you searched for, say, "Biden," as in Senator Joe Biden (D) from Delaware.

The circled headline, nominally attributed to the Chicago Sun-Times, instead linked to a site called "e.thePeople." The headline reads "Sens. Durbin & Biden Slam ashcroft!"
Whu?
The editorial (not a news piece from the Sun-Times or anyplace else you've heard of) then outlines an exchange between Ashcroft, Durbin, and Biden.
Originally observed — or brought to my attention, at any rate — by this blog, which I'm not entirely sure how I initially discovered, but it's a pretty entertaining source/destination/route for quality meme-spreading.
