Biased ba ang Google Philippines?

I think lahat na ng major Philippine newspapers like PDI, Philstar, Bulletin, Sunstar, Manila Times ay napi-pickup ng Google News.

Pati yung Manila Standard Today, pasok na rin sa google news (as of August 7, 2005).

Pero bakit yung Malaya at Tribune, wala pa rin sa Google News? I think mas maraming nagbabsa ng Malaya at Tribune kaysa sa Manila Times or Manila Standard, pero pareho silang wala sa google news.

Talaga bang may pagka-biased ang Google?

UPDATE: Sabi ng isang commenter:

inorder for a website (domain name) to be listed in search engines, owners or account contacts should purchased "Search Engine Rankings" products like WebPosition™ Gold or Google AdWords™ and the like. its not about being a biased search engine.
its about business.

Ito naman ang sabi ng Google sa website nila re Google news:

What if I don't see my favorite news source in Google News?

We're as shocked as you are! If we're missing a publisher that we should be covering, please send us your ideas. While we can't guarantee that we'll heed your recommendation, but we do promise to review all the suggestions we receive without regard to political viewpoint or ideology.

You're wrong sir.

How do you decide what stories are published on the Google News home page?

Google News has no human editors selecting stories or deciding which ones deserve top placement. Our headlines are selected by computer algorithms, based on factors including how often and on what sites a story appears online. This is very much in the tradition of Google web search, which relies heavily on the collective judgment of online publishers to determine which sites offer the most valuable and relevant information. Similarly, Google News relies on the editorial judgment of online news organizations to determine which stories are most deserving of inclusion and prominence on the Google News home page.
