>"Rumors of Apple secret launch for 10th anniversary of Apple Stores. Hot story? Yep. Bullshit? Maybe, but judging from the smoke surrounding this, probably not. Regardless, it’s something everyone wants to know about. And yet, it’s story number nine on Google News, waaaaay below the fold."

Perhaps they use an algorithm which doesn't place a high priority on blogged rumors because they are using "news" in the journalistic sense.
