Google news gets hacks
June 8th, 2008On Sunday June 8th at about 2:30 Pacific time Google news has a top story qoute ” China Withdraws from Tibet, with Apologies”
But as you can see the link goes to a news release on Al-Qaeda.
The top story was on Google news for over a hour despite it’s lack of validity. I assume it was there because of the hope that it was true. But this also brings up another underlined issue about automating news and how it can be manipulated.
