So, the Tribune put an undated story on their front page under "top stories" and blames Google for not figuring out that the story was old? How would a human even realize that, let alone a bot?
If accounts of the story are accurate then the only party that screwed up was the Tribune by a) using an absurdly naive "top story" algorithm and b) not dating their stories (pathetic for any site in this age, but a newspaper!?)
Apparently, we're supposed to guess article dates by reading the copy or look at the dates on the comments. Nonetheless, they appear to be dating all of their stories now.
