CNN and Fox have have made the shooting into entertainment. There is nothing wrong with honest reporting, but the major networks have turned it into a complete spectacle with huge, flashy headlines and propoganda (i.e. counterstrike caused it). I'm not complaining - that's just the way it is - i'm just saying that it is hypocritical to attack Google for something so minor, while letting the netoworks do what they do.
I was working on a school report in class and it dealt with slaves, so i entered something to the effect of "slaves" or "slave labor" I can't recall exactly what. Anyay, on the right, where it displays companies with products related to your search, ebay had the following banner: "Get your Slaves CHEAP on EBAY!"

How could Google's automated algorithms be so heartless? Oh wait... yeah.

Google uses an algorithm, story ended up in wrong section, they're probably going to fix it. Move along, nothing interesting here...
