somewhat off topic, but just went over to Google News.

On google news now, the top stories are:

1. Al Sharpton’s rally
2. the 5 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
3. Paris Hilton’s cocaine arrest
4. a story about a California prison riot
5. Muslim youth concerns about anti-Muslim sentiment
6. the Miller-Murkowski election in Alaska

There was nothing about Glenn Beck in the headlines. It seems odd, especially since the #1 story was Al Sharpton’s rally in Washington today. It seems odd that they didn’t mention that there was another big rally in Washington today.

They have their very own memory hole.

I won’t use google - they’re too close w the Obambi admin; and, they give lots of $$s to dems (as I understand it, they get a lot of $s from people using/clicking on their site).

I use Bing and out of curiosity, I went to bing.com and clicked on News (left side). The top item on the news list was the Glen Beck rally:

Is there more than one site for Google News?

I just looked and Beck was listed first, and Sharpton is not listed at all.

Google News was consistently obtuse when I used to check them out; it appears that they remain steadfast.

On the other hand, the Mediacom home page news has seen fit to mention Beck... albeit in smaller type below the far more important story "Baby tiger found in bag at Thai airport."

I was just there. Beck is at the top. Sharpton isn’t mentioned. Katrina is #2.
