Google Running Circles Aroung Journalists

I wondered about Google allowing people mentioned in the news to respond, but then realised they do this anyway. Google simply wants to aggregate this conversation, and by so doing, gains more of the media pie.

Dave Winer puts it so well:

Yet all they (journalists) do is weakly protest that "this isn't journalism." We need information. To say it's not journalism now is like a priest saying it's not Catholic to a bunch of agnostics. You're answering a question no one is asking.
