FYI, very disturbing revelation. Google banishing Conservative news sites.

Something frighteningly ominous has been happening on the Internet lately: Google, without any prior explanation or notice, has been terminating its News relationship with conservative e-zines and web journals.
At first blush, one can easily ignore such business decisions by the most powerful company on the Internet as being routine. However, on closer examination, such behavior could give one relatively small technological corporation (when measured by the size of its workforce) a degree of political might that frankly dwarfs its current financial prowess.
It’s Not So Easy Being A Conservative E-Zine
As reported by NewsBusters, the most recent occurrence of this unexplained phenomenon was Friday, May 19, when Frank Salvato, proprietor of The New Media Journal, realized that his content that day hadn't been disseminated at Google News as it had been on a daily basis since he reached an agreement with the search engine in September 2005.

Googling Past The Graveyard
Certainly, there is nothing new about politicians getting into bed with billionaires, and vice versa. However, in this case, if the political leanings and proclivities of the world’s largest online information engine – as well as likely the number one disseminator of “new media” content – begin impacting its policies, America may be on the precipice of an even ghastlier problem than journalists, editors, and news producers allowing their political dogma to interfere with the impartiality of their reports.

Charles over at LGF has been discussing this for the last couple of years.
