How long has this been going on?
So, I read the Top 10 Conservative Idiots, and I get down to #9: Earl Van Den Heuvel.

I look him on via google, go to the News section, and...

http://news.google.com/news?lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Earl%20Van%20Den%20Heuvel&sa=N&tab=wn

So, how long has DU been coming up looking for news, and should we tell google to not classify us under "news"? We hate it when RW sites come up there, after all. :shrug:

2. Google News lists editorials and opinion articles, too.
If they stop linking DU articles, then they might as well get rid of 75% of their database.

4. It might be too difficult for Google to separate opinion and news
in their search results even if they wanted to.

5. I mean, I'm fine with it and all; anything to get our message out...
and now, FR is going to accuse google of "librul bias". :D

(or do they already?)

6. That's a great way to spread our message
And if you can call the NY Times "news", you sure as hell can call DU news.
