Google had popped a little "breaking news" alert at the top of the YouTube page, telling viewers about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan

What's wrong with that?

The Weekly Standard writer, Jonathan Last, was concerned that Al Jazeera was offered as a source of earthquake and tsunami coverage by Google. One of the followup comments to the opinion piece is:

Reader B. M. writes in to say that, in his opinion, Al Jazeera was providing the best coverage of the Japanese earthquake: "Surfing around the net after the quake happened last night I found that Al Jazeera had the best live streaming coverage of the quake, better then the BBC, and certainly better then CNN, who as far as I could tell were only running short video clips that they ran a 30 second commercial in front of. Not to say that Google isn't evil, but I think they got it right in this instance."
