<<Shares of media company CNET Networks Inc, currently battling dissident shareholders who want to expand its board, soared more than 7 percent on Friday, on speculation that Google Inc might be interested in acquiring a stake in it.>>

But Reuters emphasizes it's only a rumor. I'd find it weird if Google would acquire the same company that is supposed to do neutral reporting on them. Isn't it unlikely that Google would want to provoke creating such a conflict of interest, including all the criticism it may bring?

The same CNet that published:

and was blacklisted by Google:
money.cnn.com/2005/08/05/techn ... ?
