Is MSNBC.com Blocking Searches for WikiLeaks? UPDATE: Probably Not

We’ve been seeing on Twitter and Reddit that something fishy is going on with MSNBC’s search function: An attempt to search for “WikiLeaks” yields zero results. Searches for “Rachel Maddow” and “polar bears,” meanwhile, seem to be working just fine.

A search for “Wikileak” yields results from around the Web, but nothing from the MSNBC site.

This is odd, because MSNBC.com has a story on the video WikiLeaks published today of U.S. military personnel firing on 12 people in Iraq.
