#1 However, they added a neo-Nazi "news" service, so the Israel-bashing should remain constant.

#2 "We demand to be ignored, irrelevant, and consigned to the dustbin of history! Including our content is tantamount to inviting people to read our stories, view our photos, and think of us as a valid news source. Nothing could be further from the truth!"

#4 I frequently post AFP news for the simple reason they cover areas the anglo news agencies dont. However, I normally get it from Yemeni, Turkish, etc, sources, i.e not Google. Just a heads up.

#5 Let's petition for Rantburg and LFG to replace AFP.

Of course, our sites would be more informative and less prejudicial than anything Phrogish, so Google probably won't be interested.

Anybody know of a second neo-Nazi site to recommend to Google News? I'm sure they're interested in replacing content like-for-like.

#6 IIRC LGF was turned down already - too anti-antisemitic

#8 ZZ top - LGF has been turned down twice, but hardly for being "anti-semitic."

If Google's adding neo-Nazi sites is any indication, it because LGF isn't anti-semitic.

In fact, I believe Charles could be called a Friend of Israel.

Google could be called idiots.

#10 Barbara, you missed one "anti" in ZZ Top's post.

I had a look at that Nazi Vanguard site and they do qualify as antisemitic, racist filth.
