This is less and less true, as evidenced by the progression of 0-click searchs.

This story screams antitrust.

It does but the complainers are usually tabloid crap pushers whom no one in power really supports.

I over-simplified. It's about Google News. The news paper companies managed to lobby for a law that requires search providers to pay money to the news papers they link to (or for the tiny excerpt they show in the search results). So Google said they will discontinue Google News in those countries. Suddenly the news papers gave Google a free license to link to them. (still simplified story)

You're right, the number of news publishers that share a common owner is something that should be of concern to antitrust enforcers.
