Yea, I understand what Google is trying to do with their news site, but it'a not working--for me--in the Bay Area. They have money to burn/waste/spoil Geniuses? Why not hire the best reporters and put together news sites for every country on the planet? Old fashioned reporting? Stop leaching off struggling news papers in order to obtain your content? The internet has destroyed so many good newspapers. Why not reverse the trend and bring back good journalism? Or just, give some of the struggling newspapers cold hard cash--in the form of a grant, before we lose them all? Or, they just become pet/vanity projects for rich tech guys?
