Google News

Newsbusters is exposing editorial bias at Google news in a piece Instapundit linked to this morning. Long story short, Google news is delisting conservative news sites and weblogs for "hate speech". When asked for specifics, Google references criticisms of Islam and Islamic terrorism.

This has been a problem at Google for quite a while. Google doesn't have an unbiased news system. Google has an unbiased news engine that is fed with data showing varying degrees of selection bias. Which means their results are biased as well. But there is always Yahoo! News.
