"Hey douchebags at the AP, if you could, oh I dunno get out of your own damn way and actually get your content online and make it more accessible there wouldn't be a need for 'aggregators' like us."

And since when is 'free advertising' like the AP is getting all over the net a bad thing? As long as people aren't claiming the content is 'theirs' I see no problem with effective and productive aggregation services like Google News.
