Google is so “out.”

What with all the supposedly wonderful bells and whistles it has, there is almost no way for a user to control the semantics of the ratings, no weighting factor that a user can specify for various criteria. What Google fundamentally wants to show at the top, will show at the top — all the user gets to do is fiddle around with the filters controlling what shows at all, and if Google feels like it then it won’t bypass what you specified after a few pages. You think Google is NOT trying to alter the discourse of the country? Think again.

Yahoo plays that game and worse.

Go to Google News. When they want distraction, they will include comments from 4 month old articles under an article. 1242 comments with 21,014 replies.

And then there are the homosexual articles with COMMENTS DISABLED. Hmmm.
