Google's always had a weird relationship with the press — the CEO blacklisting CNET.com, a senior VP telling reporters they should thank him, that kind of stuff.

But Google News lets the company piss off the press in new and exciting ways. For example, Google counts journalist Jon Udell's blog as news, but not his actual journalism on InfoWorld.com. So he blogged about it.

As my tipster says, "Jon extracts explanations from Google spokesbots about their editorial and technical workings and in that patient, wonky InfoWorld style spells out how they can't possibly be true."
