Why Google News is better than BBC News



Google News is a great source of news. Better than the BBC in fact.

Today, Google News shows that many a UK news site is updating their readers with the latest news from Abu Hamza's trial:

Abu Hamza: '9/11 Made Everybody Happy'

The BBC News website isn't reporting this story though.

It mentioned the start of Hamza's trial on April 17th, but hasn't returned to it since - which is funny, given that the BBC is the world's largest broadcast news organisation and has the wherewithal to keep its readers up to date with the news, when it wants to.
