Another issue has erupted which says that Google News  will not function anymore for a press release site after a teenager used abusive language for the service that spreaded a false press release about the search engine. Google has cut ties with its news partner. It is stated that Google news acts as a tapping source from the already pre-screened news sources such as PR Newswire, Business Wire and I-Newswire  in specific, as it offers its services free to the users.

The services offered by the I-Newswire can be used by any Tom, Dick and Harry, as found out by the author of the Wigblog. This is where the fault lies in the service, as I-Newswire suystem can be easily used to send non-informational statements in a abusive way. This was the main cause which prompted 16-year old Tom Vendetta to send incorrect press release which said that Tom was appointed by Google to fix its security vulnerablity in the Gmail service. Although the issue came to a serious attention in the blogoscope, the accused has appolgized for such an act.
