Well Sam, who they going to use? Yahoo News purchased exclusive rights to most news sources. Use Yahoo, don't bother with Google for news.

The solution is simple. Tell Google they have to censor anti-U.S.content, block sites that we deem "subversive" and allow Bush administration "content supervisors" complete access to all of their data, or they can't do business in the U.S. They'll go for that, right? I mean, we're a pretty big market, and business is business.

False postivies.

What would you expect when you include the word 'massacre'?

If I looked up "naked pictures" when I wanted to see pictures of the moon, and being offended naked pictures came up would make no sense... no?

The googleAD system is certainly biased, but the search only returns results of WHAT YOU LOOK FOR.

Its kinda' like going to DU and being shocked at stupidity.

Search "haditha" only and if you got same results mabye... or "haditha incident" or "hadita inquery"

Notice the organizations that Google considers to be reliable media outlets for news on the "Haditha massacre":

Search engines list the websites with the most hits first and go down from there. The left is well aware of this. Their sites contain all the usual key words, and the engine picks them up easily. That sends people to their sites first, and gives the site a "hit."
If you want pro-American sites listed first, you'll have to get "activists" to start hitting honest (non-MSM) websites, other wise, the left will always get theirs first in line.
The left is rabid, and because they don't work they can spend all day trying to destroy the hand that feeds them. Picture the leftists home in their mothers basement seething over the death of their socialist revolution. These are the type of far out left wing kooks we're dealing with.

I neglected to mention another site Google presents as a legitimate news source:

A blog run by Jason Leopold's partner Chris Floyd, the Empire Burlesque - High Crimes and Low Comedy in the Bush Imperium.

(Floyd started EatCrowDotOrg with and for the liar Jason Leopold.)

Well, you DID google "Haditha massacre." Hence, it's only natural that the sources you'd get are all those which are so inflammatory that they would call it a "massacre." Even if accurate, "massacre" just has an explosive tone. What does this mean then? That AP, UPI, Reuters, and the major newspapers aren't calling it a massacre, or aren't presuming that their audience knowns what Haditha is so as to place the words closest to each other.... or they've moved on.

Googling just "Haditha" got me Reuters, Bloomberg, Daily Telegraph, Chicago Tribune, Fox News, CBC, ABC, CBS-5, NPR, Washington Post, Washington Times, and NY Times. I would also not be surprised if there were some less hystrionic news sources which simply moved on already.

Of course, that still doesn't mean Google isn't Satanicly evil.
