That is really interesting. I wish more people posted independently verifiable stuff like that- but instead we get (mostly) constant streams of opinions, without any facts.

Clearly terms used make a big difference: Fallujah destruction Google - 346,000 Yahooo - 300,000 vs Fallujah "city of light" Yahoo - 286 Google - 148 vs Fallujah "better now that its destroyed" Google - 0 Yahoo - 0

That is very interesting. You might be right re sources. Less quantitatively, I am just happy that the lesser educated among the TV/radio people stopped saying "EYE-raq" :-)

"I'm not sure this means anything, this analysis of yours." Actually I linked to the results of a Google search that actually required the reader to look at the results themselves. I reviewed the results & stated the obvious. Had anyone else bothered to check the results returned by Google, they would have clearly seen that it returned a disproportionate number of liberally biased articles compared to a scant few conservatively biased articles. Take any subject that has political implications & you consistently get the exact same results every time. The only way one would not draw that conclusion would be due to their own liberal bias.
