I notice I had to go to a UK source to find coverage from a major outlet.

Oh good. Google failing me, then. The top hits they have me were Bloomberg and the Washington Times.

Ugh, Google is getting worse and and worse for search, I'm afraid. I hope better alternatives come along!

Duck Duck Go yields consistent news results for mainstream national stories such as this. Local stuff, not so much.

DuckDuckGo doesn't provide Google Books results. Ok, for news stuff it's not relevant, but I'm wedded to Google for my historical interests.
