Neo-Nazis @ GoogleNews

From Honest Reporting:

Last year, HonestReporting noted that the increasingly popular GoogleNews portal chose to include among its legitimate news sources Jihad Unspun ― a propagandist website that glorifies Islamist terror, publishes highly anti-Semitic material, and regularly demonizes the State of Israel... Now, GoogleNews has chosen to include the neo-Nazi site National Vanguard on its list of news outlets. National Vanguard is a fringe 'white pride' organization whose lead sentence from its current top article carefully distinguishes between Jewish people and 'White people'...
HonestReporting does not question these organizations' rights under the U.S. Constitution to air their views. We do however question Google's judgment in including these sites in its influential list of legitimate news outlets. HonestReporting joins blogger Jeff Jarvis' call for transparency at Google:

We're demanding transparency of mainstream news. Well, it's high time we get transparency from GoogleNews... Google: Release a complete list of your news sources now. And institute a means for questioning those choices and for suggesting other choices now.
