Maybe for Forbes and BI. But I doubt Google would do anything against Washington Post. Washington Post along with NYTimes and WSJ spearheaded the effort to get google to "clean up" news and youtube. Washington Post is the one who got google to whitelist or give preferential treatment to establish media and to get rid of "fake news". I think we'll be seeing a lot more Washington Post than a lot less, especially on social media. If you get google news feed, you'll notice how different it is now than it was just a year ago. A lot more Washington Post articles and a lot less "diversity" of news sources. Not only was Washington Post one of the leaders to "tame" social media giants like Google, FB, Twitter, Reddit, etc, they also built up a large social media team to exploit the favorable landscape they've carved out for themselves. Given how much flak google, fb and social media has been getting, I don't think they'll want to challenge the washington post anytime soon.
