Recently, Google has taken what appears to be a distinctly less transparent and open approach to their news distribution search engine. Matthew Lee maintains a small blog/website called http://www.innercitypress.com/ and has a reputation for hounding the UN - specifically the UNDP about what he considers corruption. Recently though, google announced a partnership with the UNDP and here is what happened next:

(it seems that) "... someone at the UNDP had pressured Google into "de-listing" him from Google News — essentially preventing Inner City Press from being classified on Google News as a legitimate news source and from having its stories pop up when someone conducts a Google News search."

So Google (whose main motto has always been "do good") seems to have folded under the [probably immense] pressure from the powers that be at the UNDP to effectively silence this noisy critic of that organization. The full story can be found on the Fox News website here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,331106,00.html

This is a scary development - especially when you consider that Google had for several years been happy to capture hits for Mr. Lee's website freely. Now "all of a sudden" it seems that Google feels the need to censor Mr. Lee. Very suspect given Googles announcement here regarding the UNDP alliance. See the full text of the press release here:
