You did it a slightly different way... but still got only 9 results in a story that has been around a month and that Yahoo can dig up thousands of hits for?
I was going to have the mods pull this thread, but decided to wait and see what develops...
9 hits is still pretty low and looks suspicious to me...
:)
It depends upon what news services are actually hosted on the Google servers, as opposed to what news services are hosted by the Yahoo servers and by the AOL servers.
If you want to see all of the items on Yahoo's news servers, look here. (when you put your mouse over one of the links, you will see "news.yahoo.com/..." -- that tells you that the data is on their servers.
On the other hand, Google just hosts the major wire services on their sites and refers people back to the original source for most of their hits.
That probably is the best explanation for the disparity.
