"Liberal media", my ass: front page of Google News has no mention of the NYT Russian-Afghan story

[steve2470]

Story I referred to : https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/politics/russia-afghanistan-bounties.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage


Front page of Google News (yes, not logged into my account): https://news.google.com/topstories?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en

At 3:05 AM on June 27th, I see no mention of it. If you search, you get a Kyiv Post story that links back to the NYT story.

Yes, I know Google News is not strictly part of the news media, but it's interesting that this story has been buried, at least temporarily, by Google News' bots. I thought I would see it somewhere on the front page, or at least in the USA section.

By contrast, on Twitter, it's all over the place (unless you deliberately blocked many news sources)
