Wise, I think.

Google has long since left behind being the good guy.

Google trimmed to Brazilian

Brazilians strip Google News bare: News barons decide to pull out ? The Register

protectionism or wise?

According to the Knight Center report, ANJ president Carlos Fernando Lindenberg Neto said:

Google News benefits commercially from that quality content and is unwilling to discuss a remuneration model for the production of these materials. Staying in Google News was not helping us grow our digital audiences. On the contrary, by providing the first few lines of our stories to internet users, the service reduces the chances that they will look at the entire story in our websites.
Lindenberg said that the potential loss of traffic to newspaper websites generated by Google News was "an acceptable price [to pay] to protect our content and brands". He said Google News' "presence" in Brazil was "small", according to the Knight Center report.
