<<Well, Rupert Murdoch is going to love this. More people around the world get their news online from Google News than from CNN or the news properties of the New York Times. In November, 2009, according to comScore, Google News attracted 100 million unique visitors worldwide, making it a larger news site than CNN (66 million) or the combined properties of the New York Times (92 million). But do you know who is even larger? Yahoo News, with 138 million unique visitors worldwide. Funny how you never hear Murdoch complaining about Yahoo News.

Still, the top two sources of news online are Yahoo News and Google News, followed by the New York Times sites and CNN (China’s QQ.com News would come in fifth with 53 million visitors a month, followed by the BBC and MSN News with about 48 million each—the Wall Street Journal Online is way down the list with only 6.8 million). Google News is the orange line in the chart above.>>

Considering Google News is also a onebox in Google web search triggered for many keywords, I'm not so sure who has more, Yahoo News or Google News :)

CNN is English and Arabic only.
New York Times is English only.
Google News, just as Yahoo News, is available in several languages. You can't compare them.

Google news only shows small snippets.
Google doesn't provide content, only references.
Saying that more people get their news from google news than cnn.com is like saying more people get their printed news from snail mail than from the printed edition of the New York Times.

Google has a large number of sources to which google news links.
cnn.com should be compared to foxnews.com and other such sources.
