It is not surprising this comes from Mark Cuban, he has had it in for Google since they bought Youtube.<p>But I have to give Cuban some credit here. He actually provides plausible, logically consistent, well reasoned arguments. I am not sure he is correct, but at least his arguments are well reasoned. He does not go into hysterics about how Google is stealing like some other billionaires you may have heard of.<p>There is however one counter argument that Cuban did not mention. If a well known newspaper leaves Google News, then they are opening the door for competitors. If a person goes to Google news, and sees a story by their trusted paper, they will click on that story even if it is one of 2000. But if he does not see their trusted newspaper, will they go to the trusted newspaper's webpage or would they simply say "well lets try this new site I have not heard of before" and then discover that the new site is just as good or maybe even better than their trusted newspaper.
