GOOGLE AXES NAZI NEWS, SORT OF

Google News Removes National Vanguard (LGF)
Apparently, Google News is beginning to reexamine the procedures that permitted including vile Nazi sites like National Vanguard: Google Axes Hate News. No word from them on what those procedures might be.

In fact, National Vanguard has been removed from the Google News index. But here’s a pertinent question: what does Google mean by “hate content,” and who decides? Does Jihad Unspun (the radical Islamist equivalent of a white supremacist hate group) qualify? Honest Reporting certainly thinks so: Nazism in the News.

[Google's] exclusion applies only to Google News, the division of Google which compiles headlines from “legitimate” news sources that pass Google’s review procedures (whatever they are). It does not apply to the Google search engine, which still indexes sites like National Vanguard.
