techcrunch.com— How powerful is Google when it comes to parceling out traffic to news sites? If you are talking about Google News, the answer is that it is not quite as powerful as you might think.

I'd say google news isn't all that great. I never thought that it was powerful at all. In other news, I heard the Great Lakes aren't really the controlling forcebehind all the worlds water supplies.
All google has to say is "We won't aggregate your news any more but we are also taking you out of the index and disabling your adwords account." The old world just does not get how the new world works. Just like the record companies. All they have to do is run a report of the website stats and subtract the traffic that came from Google and they would just shut up. I don't really get why they are mad. All Google does is show headlines and a snippit people still go to the news sites.
After the masterful (read: completely untrue) job TC did on the Last.fm user data scandal that never was, I can only wonder why the hell they keep writing stuff. Buried.
