I was reading this last night, it is the mother of all news sites!

Can't you just see CNN and MSNBC crying like little babies?

Still unsure if it's completely unbiased though. :(

I like it personally . . . biased? I don't think it could be - all it's doing is grabbing info from a billion other sites. Of course I have been wrong before!

I've been wrong before, too, rkgraphix, and I will again. But here's my thoughts...

I think Google News has the potential to have unprecedented non-bias, but right now, it just searches the 4000 most frequently updated news sites in the world. Translation: the biggest, richest, most politically-biased news sites in the world.

If the National Enquirer updates it's content more often than CNN, for example, what are we going to get then?

Plus, in the sports sections - (and the other ones, too) you have a pretty heavy US presence going on in there, and I know not everyone out there gives a damn about US Football, like we don't give much of a damn about Soccer.

Overall, though, I think it's a really cool service, and I hope the bugs get worked out soon. It's a great way for me to keep up with my hometown's news, college football, etc...

GOD I'm bored today....zzzzzzz
