The real problem is that newspapers would just like to take a percentage of Google revenue, because they're a big company.

If that's the case, let Google do its own reporting and write its own headlines. It's not like it doesn't have the money. Problem solved.

That would be a great outcome for Google wouldn’t it? Just cover national news using paid reporters and capture all of the ad revenue.

They already capture most of the ad revenue.

And Google is notoriously bad when it comes to paying humans to investigate issues, as shown by their absent customer service.

Then Google would probably get antitrust complaints from including their own news but not competitors' news sites.
