I don't necessarily disagree about Google being required to pay publishers to make money off of having snippets of their content in Google News.
But requiring Google to both index all websites (in a separate attempt to mitigate the monopoly effect) and requiring Google to pay publishers to include content in search results certainly has a bad smell to it.
If Google had the option to not index the websites, then I'd say it's fine.
