Google news gets one right. Finally.

When I noticed this post over at Michelle Malkin's site about Google News' apparent bias of excluding conservative sites, while including lefty barking-moonbat folks like Democratic Underground, I was reminded that I had submitted our very own RedState for review no less than three times - always without an answer. Well, fourth time's a charm, I say.

Best,

RedState.org
Cue the angry leftist boycotts of Google.

Not bad... Considering how much larger kos is than redstate, how much more money they raised in the last election cycle (in losing causes, all of them, of course), and with how much longer it's been around, that seems like a serious uptick for Redstate.
Congrats, guys.
