Well, I think we all agree that google agregating your news should be opt-out, and the threats to stop search-engine-indexing site which doesn't allow its news to be on unrelated news-aggregator service is ridiculous.

So that ridiculousness is worth investigation, sure.

On other hand, I don't see why newspapers would object aggregating their articles into google news. Google news is all about links to the newspaper sites; it's a source of clicks, not a way to steal content.
