Google News Drops Jawa Report

Rusty Shackleford’s excellent blog The Jawa Report has been dropped from Google News because according to Google, it contains “hate speech.”

Amazing. So because they were forced to remove National Vanguard, for Pete’s sake, a white supremacist site that everyone agrees is a racist sewer, Google News apparently will now sanitize everything—including sites that try to tell the truth about radical Islam. And all without ever disclosing how they are reaching these judgments.

Private Radio has a list generated by a script, of Google News sources for the United States. Since they’ve now dropped Jawa Report, can we assume they will also be dropping Electronic Intifada, Jihad Unspun, uruknet.info, AlJazeerah.info, infoshop.org, antiwar.com, and many other hard-core Islamist and anti-American sites that feature prominently in their news search results?
