Google News Stonewalling Independent Media
Apparently Indy Media are upset that Google News often doesn't include Indy Media in its news sources.
Naturally, none of this has anything to do with the usual garbage found on Indy Media sites which may be potentially aggregated by Google. Instead, this is all the fault of a "pressure campaign launched by prominent right-wing bloggers." Shortly after this accusation, Indy Media suggests.... A pressure campaign.
If they put aside their media-control conspiracy theories for just a second, it might become obvious that maybe Google wants to maintain credibility as a news source.
And there's the problem...
(Hint: As an open, unmoderated cesspit, Indy Media doesn't have any).
