Getting the search engine to work so one can find a piece of 12 News video?

Not so much.

Note how AZCentral even allows the crappy company it’s using for the animated ads to advertise itself, complete with trademark symbol.

It’s an ad on an ad!

Of course the site needs to sell ads; no one thinks journalism should be free.

But AZCentral.com is a site that’s user-unfriendly even by the clotted standards of most daily newspapers.

I was looking for video from today’s 12 News' Sunday Square Off; two or three passes and it wasn’t coming up.

Here’s what you get the first time using Google News:
