It still seems rare that a story IS appended with a comment. I recall reading that Google News was considering soliciting comments. (Danny Sullivan's Q&A at Search Engine Land?)If that is the case, I would consider Google News is also attempting the role of reporter or fact-checker. -Matt Paul-

Maybe there are no other "participants" who commented yet, but if others where to chime in, how are their results displayed? Does Google order the comments top-to-bottom chronologically, alphabetically, or do they have some other seemingly random way of ranking that? On the one hand, I see where indexing comments on news stories makes sense: reputation management, ongoing debate, and fluid interactivity between producers and consumers of news represent natural growths in the way news is consumed (and produced) on the internet, but the implications of Google's latest moves as news editor-in-chief (or "objective" observer/enabler) bear some serious consideration.
