Comcast says they provide you with "the internet". Google says that they're providing you with the news. News is understood to be a factual piece of information by any common measure of understanding, as opposed to rumors and gossip.

It's not really a good comparison. Google purports to promote topical news in several places (search results, news., the Google App).

If Comcast was taking up an editorial function I'd criticize them for doing it poorly too.
