Is Google censoring the blogs?

First do no evil right? Thinking and communicating thoughts is the essence of humanity.

Example #1---here is a posting on JihadWatch today

Egyptian editor who printed cartoons has left the country Egyptian Sandmonkey, who has done such important work during the entire cartoon rage episode, and was the first to reveal that the Egyptian paper Al Fagr printed the cartoons in October, now tells us that the editor responsible has left Egypt -- not surprising, since editors who printed the cartoons in Jordan and Algeria have been arrested.

1. Search Google with the phrase “ Egyptian editor who printed” and google gives this result:

Egyptian editor who printed cartoons has left the country 4 hours ago by director@jihadwatch.org Egyptian Sandmonkey, who has done such important work during the entire cartoon rage episode, and was the first to reveal that the Egyptian paper Al Fagr printed the cartoons in October, now tells us that the editor responsible has left..... Jihad Watch - http://www.jihadwatch.org/

2. Search Google with just the word “cartoons” and no result.

Check out Google Blog Search to see for yourself if Google is censoring the cartoon postings by the bloggers.

I just did the searches she did and came up with all kinds of results.

Did you use Google Blog Search?

Did you get a hit for the Jihad Watch posting "Egyptian editor who printed cartoons has left the country" when you searched for “cartoons”?

I have tried it and I did not get a hit for that particular story by Jihad Watch when I used the keyword “cartoons”.
