Is Google News biased?


Michelle Malkin points out that liberal blogs like Wonkette and the Democratic Underground are in Google News, but not conservative blogs like Little Green Footballs and her blog.

I think Michelle Malkin probably has a point. Is not Google located in the San Francisco area, a very blue area in a blue state? Probably the left wing politics of the people making the decisions have influenced somewhat whom they choose to include.

I also think Joe Koss correctly argues that Google “should err on the side of "NON-Admittance" as opposed to admittance.” I think sites that just link to other news articles, which is what Malkin mostly does, aren’t really creating any news.

Google should probably be looking to remove some news sources rather than add them. It’s also very annoying that the same AP article shows up in Google News a hundred times, they need to have some kind of filter on that.
