char.gd appears to be a blog, not a news site.

  Yeah I feel bad for Owen, but the site is pretty clearly a personal blog and not a news outlet. Just reading through samples of the articles and newsletter a lot of it is personal opinion and personal perspective. A lot of "I" in the blogposts. There's nothing wrong with that for a blog, but I don't expect my news articles to be about some guy named Owen and his opinion. I want impartial news that just sticks to the facts. Personally I think that Google News is working completely as intended to keep this personal blog from showing up as news, because if it did show as news then so would the thousands of other small personal blogs, and Google News would be worthless.

    Look at what is on Google News now. Almost all opinion pieces from Fox News and Waahington Post and Washington Examiner and The Hill.

  Plenty of blogs are in Google News too, so I'd love to hear the logic there. But, also, that's fine if it's not allowed! Google just needs to make the rules far less opaque. Why are some op-ed blogs allowed in, and not others? How does the rejection process work? Why does nobody at the company want to put their name to this process?

    >Why are some op-ed blogs allowed in, and not others? Its simple. They have more money than you.
