Google News Crawler
What I found most interesting was this:
Updating an article after posting it will create problems with Google News: TRUE
Currently, the Google News crawler only visits each article URL once. If you make updates to the article after we’ve crawled it, they won’t be reflected on our site. We hope that soon we’ll have the ability to re-crawl your articles to make sure we have the latest version displayed on our site, but for now this is not the case.
So … this means, that once Google finds news articles, it’s found. They won’t crawl and gather content after the first try. This means that all the user-comments and on-page feedback has no impact inside Google News (it still has great SEO spider food, because the regular Google crawler definitely visits more than once … it’s just the NEWS crawler that will not see much of the user comments)
