Oh absolutely. I certainly have. And boy do you hear about it! Due to the trust people have in manual curation, mistakes are quite painful. This is one of the reasons I think people subconciously like manual curation. If you can blame and chastise the curator, that makes it more appealing.
If The New York Times runs some vile headline on their front page, it would do incredible damage to the brand. If Google News automatically ran a similar thing, fingers would get pointed at some blameless algorithm (like with the black people/"gorilla" auto tagging debacle last week) and we'd all shrug at how funny technology can be while remembering just how uninteresting Google News usually is at the same time.
