RE: An Actual Knock at the Door?

Comment comment by Brandon on 24 May 2006

I guess the world is turning to blogs for news, but they don't seem like real news sources, so I don't know why any of them would be included on Google News. Are liberal comparable liberal blogs included? In any case, if someone is looking for a blog, they can (and should) use a normal Google search, which turns up Michelle Malkin's blog just fine.

RE: An Actual Knock at the Door? by LordDilly :: NR8

As far as I know, no Liberal Blogs have been banished from Google News or Google Search indexes. The thing that disturbs me about all of this is: Google absolutely does censor search result in China, and they seem to have decided that criticism of a religion (Islam) and it's followers is "hate speech." It would be like markmcb banning starm due to "hate speech". The Internet has been a boon to the free flow of ideas since it's inception. I dislike one entity having so much control over the flow of information.

Some additional things about Google News: Israel National News says: "The US Department of Treasury issued a press release identifying Al-Manar, the media arm of the Hizbullah terrorist network, as well as an Nour Radio and the Lebanese Media Group, as a 'specially designated global terrorist entity'", yet Al-Manar’s repeatedly anti-Israel, anti-Semitic news is available through all of Google’s services. Yet the previously mentioned consrvative blogs were banned because of nebulous "hate speech" that Google refuses to define.
