What’s Going On At Google News?

OK, so by now it’s pretty well estab­lished that I nit-pick things, have an acute sense of obser­va­tion, and a big enough mouth to broad­cast my aston­ish­ment at the funny things I notice around me. I’m learn­ing how to be more pos­i­tive and keep my mouth shut more… but I just couldn’t pass this one up.

Was look­ing at Google News to see what’s going on up in Mass­a­chu­setts for the spe­cial elec­tion, and I noticed that a sec­tion on Israel and the Pales­tin­ian Author­ity had a weird side photo:

I’m pretty sure they didn’t want that pic­ture of the ten­nis player in there!

OK, curi­ous, but not really inter­est­ing… until I saw the arti­cle sec­tion on the elec­tion. Now, that’s a funny photo!

A lit­tle sex­ist, no?

So, what’s the deal? Now, I’m won­der­ing how Google comes up with the pho­tos that show up, and if someone’s hav­ing a good time at their expense.
