WantaGate, Corporate News, and Google Censorship?

[Trillo]

This is one of the stories that has been ongoing for quite some time, very little of the information seems to be able to be confirmed utilizing Internet resources, so there is this one source worldreports.org, leading to suspicion of its claims, though perhaps not enough suspicion to totally dismiss as complete raving tinfoil.

As I was reading through their latest news item (a rather long read) published Sept 17, 2007, WorldReports mentioned a news item published at the Daily Telegraph on Sept 13, 2007 entitled "Chancellor wants G7 to tighten credit rules". So I pulled up Google News search and using the quotes -- no surprise -- there were no results. I checked Yahoo News search as well: zip, nada, nothing.

Now even more curious for some intuitive reason, I went to the Daily Telegraph site and used their internal search tool -- surprise -- there really is a news story around that date by the same title.

Hmm, does Google not carry the Daily Telegraph? The story is only a few days old. I copied the Daily Telegraph's top story title from today's webpage "US slashes rates to halt credit crisis" and using the quotes, received a Google result. So its feed is carried by Google.

The WantaGate story is quite curious given all the chaos going on right now in the western financial world. Given the apparent censorship of Google, I can only assume the unfolding story must have some legs to stand on, even if the story isn't entirely the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

If it was complete raving tinfoil, there'd be no reason to censor, yes?
