    This whole thing is reminding me of Carrie Prejean attempting to walk off Larry King Live. Why do right wing freak-a-zoids always have to sit and whine and moan and shriek about "get off my property" and "I'm leaving!" and then never really leave? #newscorp

    In reply to Why News Corp. Keeps Threatening to Leave Google
    When a consumer enters a query into Google (and just about any other search engine), they can get hundreds of results. If a News Corp site isn't part of the search result, consumers aren't going to switch to Bing. They're just going to click the most relevant search result that's still there, and 90 percent of the time that's going to be just as fine and dandy for the consumer as it would have been otherwise. Google's probably just laughing at this whole thing. Or am I missing something here? #newscorp

    @DennyCrane: One or the other of the linked pieces mention the old workaround, where non-WSJ subscribers get just the first couple of paragraphs from an article via the WSJ site, but they get the whole thing, if they go through Google.

    I've never actually looked at the mechanics of this anomaly, but since the WSJ has a paywall, if the Google trick is unauthorized, I wonder why they don't plug the leak because one assumes it is costing them money.
    ---

    Otherwise, I like how the hint from the AP that Microsoft may be willing to favor the story originator in search results, something important to some members of the media results in several comments about the AP being antiquated and how Google could put them out of business, if they wanted.

    @DennyCrane: Nope, you're not missing anything. This is just another example of executives not liking the terms that the big distributor gives them, and therefore signing a contract with the little new guy (which in this case, at least, is the role MS is playing), even though the little new guy has less than 1/10 the reach. It happens all the time, both on the internet and off it. And it almost never works out.

    This is kind of like a record label saying they're dropping iTunes because Apple takes too much of the profits, and instead they're going to distribute all their stuff through eMusic. #newscorp

    I'm sorry that looks less like a protest and more like a line at the godforsaken Starbucks.

    And knowing Fox they'll say, "Tens of two showed up! See, that means something!"

    Yes, seven people now need bus fare back to their homes in "Twister" country. #protests

    What exactly is "long legged mack daddy" supposed to mean? Sometimes extreme racism just goes to a place I can't even figure out--like that sound that makes dogs bark that humans can't hear.

    Today's Gawker take on the Post:

    1) It's full of racist sexists (Guzman sues)
    2) It's dying! (reaction to the Times report)
    3) Awesome story about the big spending Malaysian club guy.

    Summary: Death to the Post -- God save the Post. #newyorkpost

    Because the Post is the only place where writers are willing to work for an evil overlord. And being a Hispanic woman, everything Sandra Guzman says *must* be true. #newyorkpost

    @Joe Mitchell's Secret: Actually, being a Hispanic woman is the reason she had to put up with this shit in the first place. I can see how a person could find it hard to believe that Ms. Guzman is telling the truth, what with all that journalistic integrity and ethical practices the Post has always been known for

    As a white, male American, I am simply appalled and offended by the amount of reverse racism and reverse sexism shown by Miss Guzman and her alleged Complaint.

    These quibbles show insensitivity to my worldview that as a white man in America, I can do or say whatever I like to whomever I like with no consequences whatsoever. Moreover, I'm sure that there is a study from a think tank somewhere that shows a majority of Americans agree with me.

    Now if you don't mind, I have some pictures of penises I need to have circulated to the "womyn" in this office to show them what they're missing out on. #newyorkpost

    Wait, giggling frat-boy asshats run our nation's media network? WHAT?!? How can it be so!

    Oh, how broken are my illusions. Next you'll tell me that our financial system is commandeered by over-privileged bastard frat boys who only hire their sons or the best friends of their sons for positions of power and drink sapphire-infused champagne out of the shattered shells of their minor stockholders and bank/loan customers's hopes and dreams.
