Hosted AP Content on Hold in Google News

It looks like the fight between Google and the Associated Press has just taken a another strange turn. The search giant has confirmed that it has stopped adding AP content to its search results as of late December.

As of December 23, Google stopped putting AP stories into Google News, although you can still read AP stories through Google News if the story was picked up by one of the AP's partners. Google confirmed earlier reports by Search Engine Land and Techcrunch that "at the moment we're not adding new hosted content from the AP."
