But what happens when you Digg a Google alert?

Sometimes I wonder if anybody actually reads an original source anymore. Why go to an actual media site, like Network World or Wired or Boston Business Journal when you can use news aggregators to have information on your chosen topics culled from all kinds of sources and delivered to your inbox or reader? It seems the chances of an interesting or serendipitous but off-topic item just won't get through anymore. Ever the luddite, I was actually reading the New York Times section by section when I spotted this item about Google experimenting with asking executives of companies in the news to comment on that news, and then including that comment as another piece of news. Seems like there's potential for an endless loop there. If McDonalds isn't putting forth newsworthy information about what they're doing and if journalists don't seek out their comments, why should Google get in on the act?
