Yahoo-news search on China

media - Yahoo does not censor bad news

Just checked how different search engines bring the news that Reporters Sans Frontiers (RSF) has accused Yahoo of helping state security in getting information to convict the Chinese journalist Shi Tao for providing state secrets to foreigners.
In that kind of cases it is important to check what the search engines are reporting. My check did find the story on the 11th position on Yahoo, when I looked under the keyword 'China'. Google News had the story already on the third place, but then, that does not seem enough to suggest censorship on the part of Yahoo.
