"invented slights and imagined outrages"

You noticed a trend there, did you? True on both sides, if all you're going by is Google. Almost by definition, the outraged nuts generate more web space than a lot of other people. One hallmark of a tinfoil site on any part of the political spectrum is the enormous size of the pages.

Google as is really isn't a good objective measurement of anything.

Now, if you could modify your engine to incorporate the Google source filters, you might be able to program it to, say, only take results from a few dozen mainstream news sites. Or maybe only specific sites, like whitehouse.org, or moveon.org. Picking through references filtered this way might actually show some useful information. It would be a fairly good pointer for biases if nothing else.
