Sad that Google hasn't implemented this yet. Until they do, we have this script. WSJ news now has the same reactionary bias as their editorials. Thankfully I don't have to be bothered with it any more.

Fan-freaking-tastic idea. Are they outFoxing it? , Nov 30, 2009
Review written by grenada brian - see all my reviews (1)

No question, nearly every time I saw a particularly politicized headline on my iGoogle page, I'd look down and see "FoxNews" there. It got to the point that 1/5 to 1/4 of my news was 'Foxed'.

THANK YOU for this script! You deserve a medal.

When I installed it it worked like magic. No fox 'news' when I went to Google News. Like they didn't even exist. Ahhh. Then I went to tools -> GreaseMonkey -> manage user scripts, RealGoogleNews -> Included Pages, and I pasted my iGoogle home page URL into the field. Then voila, no fox news on my iGoogle home page. Too good to be true.

Life was peaceful for about a week, Now I'm noticing a fox news report every now and then. Perhaps increasing in frequency. This makes me wonder if we're being out Foxed...

But overall, it's a fantastic idea, it works almost all the time, and it's one more way Firefox users can 'stick it to the man.'

acceptable band-aid , Nov 29, 2009

Until Google provides a way to filter out specific sources from Google News, this script is an acceptable band-aid. Thank you for writing it.
