So let me get this straight... you think this is good for publishers and consumers? I don't understand in what universe this could be construed that way. No one is going to pay for the ability to publish a quote from an article, or link up a headline and article. Thats ridiculous, and its in direct conflict with how the internet and search engines work.
If anything google and other search engines are helping drive traffic to the originating sites. I mean no one is going to go to 3 sources individually and search a topic... aggregation just makes sense.
I don't think its so much the FBI's reputation as an employer as it is working for "da man" in general. I assume that most people in the field with a decent skill level have an aversion to authority and especially law enforcement (at any level). Even if one has no qualms about going that route I would think the law enforcement would be pretty much a last choice. It would be much more interesting, and likely lucrative, to work for the NSA or CIA.
