I work for a major metro daily in the online department and I find this story amusing. Google is consistently our top referrer (except, occasionally, on days where something gets Slashdotted or Farked). I can't imagine why we'd ever want Google to stop what they're doing. Besides, we're falling all over ourselves to provide other aggregating tools like RSS. What's the difference? Not much, I'd say.
