While this is a very interesting story in more than one way, and I'm not big on news shaping by editor to tell an overall story rather than give facts, here is how your story doesn't relate to the google feature discussed here: the good news feature doesn't replace the user news, but is specifically requested by the user on each run, by asking specifically for the good news list.
So if someone checked their news on it on that terrible day, they would see both event. If they felt very depressed about it and needed to cheer themselves up, they could ask for a good news of the day; something that they certainly couldn't find on regular news system of the time since the WTC is all they talked about for days.
- theDoug 8y agoSeriously. This is about as newsworthy or controversial as when I ask the assistant to tell me something interesting or a joke.
- singingboyo 8y agoI agree it shouldn't be controversial, but you seem to also think there shouldn't be an article at all? I think it's newsworthy - it's not major news, but it's a useful thing to know for at least some people. I haven't found feature discovery to be one of the assistant's strong points, so little articles like this help with that.
