Google says Murdoch stories can be taken off

Murdoch has apparently become so big that he thinks he blackmail the news industry. We need to send him a message. This is sinister. FOXNews is already a powerful force in politics. Especially within the Republican Party. It is why the President has refused to deal with them. A foreigner like Rupert Murdoch should not have that kind of influence in the news business in America. [I am aware that Murdoch is a U.S. citizen. But this was done solely so that he could purchase FOX.

"Google said on Tuesday, in response to threats by Rupert Murdoch to ban the search engine from listing content from his news empire, that any company could ask to have stories taken off.In an interview in his native Australia, Murdoch accused Google of stealing stories from News Corp. newspapers for the Google News service, and said he might ban them once he introduces charges for the papers' online editions.Google said it was up to individual news organisations to decide whether they wanted their stories listed on Google News, and there were "simple technical standards" that would remove them if they wished."News organisations are in complete control over whether and how much of their content appears in search results," it said said in a statement issued in London."
