Note To Google

[JFN1]

I sent this to Google today:
-----------------
I continue to see Fox News headlining sections of my news content home page. Fox News has made it very clear they are not a "news" organization, so I fail to understand why Fox News and its contributors like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity come up on my Google News home page as news.

I would like to have either the means to filter this offensive, non-news content out of my news page, or perhaps Google can re-think inclusion of Fox News, as part of the news.

Thank you.

2. We MUST start combating the right wing spin machine

Challenging Fox News as a legitimate news outlet, anywhere it is being presented as such, seems to be an important step in fighting their bullshit.

6. Best idea ever!

Hear that whooshing sound over your head Rupert? That's the "it" you aren't getting.

5. And enough with the ads already!

I can't go to a single page on the internets that hasn't been slowed and infected with some form of Google's advertising. It's getting damn irritating.
When can I get Internet 2.0 for my Mac, already?

7. Done and done

This is a great idea. I just sent them a similar note.
