You should also have a right to block sites you don't find newsworthy as well. The point is we should have a choice. Today I saw a lead story by Glenn Beck on the top of the page and today is the last day I will use Google news until they stop forcing their sources on us. You have a choice folks, if you like FOX go to FOX, same for CNN, Huffington, etc. Would you visit any of those sites if you don't like them? Then why is Google forcing them on you?
This is very disappointing and even more so that Google won't even acknowledge this request. I don't think they take their readership too seriously.
