There may be a bias but also their news results are reflective of the sources they search - the bias could be in the sources.

Little Green Footballs (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/) is all over this subject. Just click the link and search their site for Google news. You'll find a treasure trove of entries on the subject.

Oh, Gawd, here we go again.....

Google and google news is an entirely automated entity.
Its based on automated criteria, such as the number of links, the freshness of the story, and the degree to which new words and phrases start appearing all over the world.

It shows those articles because it mines (digs through) MSM press web sites. The MSM is left, so thats what you get.

I've heard of blaming the messenger, but why resort to blaming the messenger's mail pouch.

Google ranks news sources (and web hits, for that matter) according to "credibility."

Google is a very liberal organization with bed wetter owners --- with clear opinions about what is credible and what is not.

I stopped looking at Google News because of the left leaning liberal bias. It is in the headlines, the way they find articles that bash Bush and how Reuters, NYSlimes, LASlimes and WAPO get priority over other credible news sources.

Keep complaining. Maybe they will listen.

I wish a rich conservative to buy stocks of google and get rid of the Liberal Sterring Commitee, replacing it with a Conservative one. That should do the job for to make it a fair Search Engine.

It's not just the news, it's the search engine as well. Try "talk radio" and see what the first result is. Tell me how that could possibly be the most popular.
