There is overt censorship removing Gateway Pundit as a Google News source. They may be able to fight that with a complaint that points out they used to be considered a News site, and other similar sites still are. That's what the OP was talking about.

That is different from just typing some text into Google and getting results. That is Google Web or Google "All" which still gives results for Gateway Pundit. However, there could be covert censorship, it's hard to detect and hard to prove. When I type "AWFUL! LIBERAL FACEBOOK Censors Post" with quotes around it, I get Gateway Pumdit as the first result. FR's posting of that article in a thread is the second result. But remove the quotes, and Gateway Pundit did not show up on the first page. But when I searched again after using quotes, it showed up. Then I removed the last word and search for

and did not get a Gateway Pundit hit on the first page. So Google is crafty about covert censorship as that is easy for them to do, making it very difficult to detect and prove if they are in fact doing that.
