How big do you have to be to earn the wrath of the United Nations and Internet giant Google? If you're journalist Matthew Lee, all it takes are some critical articles about the UN. Lee is the editor-in-chief and pretty much the only reporter for Inner City Press, a pint-sized Internet news operation that's earned the wrath of liberal fascists..

What do you think about that? And first, do you think it is real?

To recap, apparently this site http://www.innercitypress.com was kicked from Google News. Now, Google News often kicks sites, Google Blogoscoped was kicked too before. One of the biggest focus of them is to not include one-person news sites. Looking through InnerCityPress.com, many news articles (all I checked) seem to be from the same guy. Could that be the reason?

"In November 2007, during a press conference in which Google announced its partnership with the UNDP to achieve anti-poverty goals, Lee earned a less-than-friendly response when he asked why the Internet company hadn't signed a global human-rights and anti-censorship compact —elements in the U.N.'s Millennium Development Goals."

>>>I wasn't aware about that, and you?

[Google spokesman Gabriel Stricker told FOXNews.com that "Google generally does not sign petitions or join coalitions but prefers to support public-engagement and advocacy efforts through the work of Google.org and by leveraging our products, such as Google Earth."]

>>>LoL, and at the same time Google "supports" [not exactly, I agree] Republican party
