Apparent anti-semitic headline on TheMarketBusiness, recommended by google
By Don Smith
The news aggregator site, news.google.com, recommended an apparently anti-semitic article by The Market Business. The headline reads "To Meet jews Donors, Ted Cruz heads to Vegas." The article is largely ungrammatical.

On April 25, the news aggregation site news.google.com included among its top headlines a link and summary to an article from TheMarketBusiness.com with the following headline.
To Meet jews Donors, Ted Cruz heads to VegasHere's an image of the article as it appeared on April 25 at TheMarketBusiness.com, 2015 at 8:10AM PST:
The first paragraph is largely ungrammatical:
Ted Cruz, The Texas Firebrand didn't stand out in the previous poll about the presidential election in 2016, but since he was approached by some Jewish giant donor [sic], his name began to be taken into account. He will meet some Jewish donors in the next meeting in [sic] Semi Jewish [sic] Republican Coalition meeting. With him, there are several other Republican candidates are [sic] Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Mike Pence. The meeting was attended by a group of "low candidates", as well as members of the above is group of candidates of the lowest in the polls, because top candidates like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker will not participate in the meeting.

I realize that google can't be held responsible for the content of every article their news aggregator links to, but you'd hope the programmers at google can tune their algorithms in the future to exclude such substandard content.
