Yeah, I think such a move would hurt Murdoch and AP more than it would hurt Google. I understand contextual advertising, I suspect that Google makes far less than average on searches for news related terms, because people aren't looking to buy something, or solve a problem.

And while they are at it, they should cut off access to customers on ISPs that are pursuing an anti-net-neutrality agenda.

In both cases, I think Google would be better fit out for a war of attrition than their adversaries. On the other hand, Google probably doesn't want to hand Microsoft any opportunities right now by cutting off ISPs.
