Does Google News take its orders from FOX News? (anti-Caroline Kennedy article on front page)
As I type this, the headline story on Google News regarding Caroline Kennedy is entitled "Caroline Kennedy: Pampered wannabe pol plays the victim card", written by RW stooge Howie Carr for the Boston Herald. Out of all the possible Caroline Kennedy articles, how did this particular one get headliner status?

2. no
Google news is generated by some fancy news aggregator algorithm thingamabob. Keep refreshing the page and you'll see the top headlines change.

3. Google news is ok.
I caught that Kennedy article too. Google news is a good barometer on just how much propaganda is being delivered.
