I suppose this may do for articles that just deliver some facts. However the kind of stuff I enjoy reading doesn't just barf up some facts in the form of sentences, it provides insight into what the implications of those facts may be and also draws from the past to better put things in context.
That's not to say their technology couldn't be improved to search the web and see what past events are relevant, but providing good insights about the implications of the facts will be a whole lot tougher. I don't think journalists need to be shaking in their boots unless they only deliver the quality and depth of results that this algorithm delivers.
