It sucks that Google News has become a constant stream of negative crap about Rand Paul; all from the same blogspot blog, from the same author and from a site with a laughable name. Google should really reconsider letting blogspot sites into their news section:

Google owns blogspot so they have a vested interest in directing people to it.

AFAIK the most popular articles (as measured by hit count) rise to the top. The obvious solution is to stop giving the blog traffic. It is not the NY Times or the Washington Post; there is no reason to lend credence to it.

I dunno that the NY Slimes or the Washington Post are much more accurate :(

Her article on that though just makes her sound like a whiner.

Yes, but they already have a large platform. Apparently, this blog generates most of its traffic by trolling Rand Paul supporters. If those supporters stopped playing into the bloggers' hands, it would quickly become irrelevant.

I haven't been to her blog since day one, but she and her friends seem to link multiple times to game the search engine even before the hits start arriving. I reported it to Google.

Note that she also continually mentions Ron Paul, because it greatly expands her audience.

Isn't that the fake pro-Rand Paul blog used as a cover to first show those Mongiardo tapes?

Can any old jerk with a blogspot blog get into google news or are there traffic threshold requirements. WTF are we waiting for in either case?

Just figured out a way to not give views to the webpage. Just google the following with Drudge Report as an example: cache:drudgereport.com

Why not have somebody write their own blogspot? About Rand Paul.

From my understanding of it, you need a certain amount of hits & comments.
