94. I think everyone like me does searches through Google News
This one didn't show up and I suspect wasn't scraped by Google's news bots. That's probably why none of us found it earlier.

I just happened upon it today when doing some browsing through "Web search" hits with some other more confined search criteria. Looked pretty interesting, and it turned out to be pretty good.

I think this just goes to show you (like my earlier concern that Google was being "gagged" at one point) how us relying on Google to have all of the decent alternative news sources being scraped is a dangerous assumption. That is a lifeline that needs to be reinforced in this very important time of needing to gather news. We really need a progressive search engine that tries to scrape all of the news sources that Google scrapes and more (radioleft, etc.). If any of you know of one hiding out there in the woodwork that we can start all using and giving site hits too, please let us know.
