Today, on BusinessInsider.com, there was a story regarding Microsoft offering money to companies (a big part being News Corp.) that take themselves off of Google search results, a process they call “de-listing.”  “The idea is to force Google to pay for content, thinning its currently fat margins,” Nicholas Carlson writes.  But Google’s Matt Brittin said that “Google [does] not need news content to survive.”  Although it might spread out “search engine share some,” it remains true that Google will probably still have other websites indexed that carry the news stories.
