I think you're missing a step in your argument..

1. Google does censorship
2. ???
3. Google is evil

Do you really consider censorship to be "evil"?

When it censors political opinion and investigative reporting ... yeah

How so?

Note that I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I'm just tired of people calling every questionable decision made by Google, "evil"

I fail to see how dropping his dinky website from a news aggregator is censorship in any way.

And as for censorship in china, google has two options:
1) censor what the government wants
2) do no business in china

The "moral" thing to do would be no business there, but google wants to make moneys.
