If Google news can be hacked then spoof press reports could be inserted which could affect stock markets and other decisons... How can GOOG guarantee the integrity of Google News?
If it is in beta, does that mean it doesn't have to secure it from outsiders?
UPDATE: Irish paper hacked and distributed by Google
