This is having a pretty extreme impact if their numbers are correct:

"Truthout, a not-for-profit news website that focuses on political, social, and ecological developments from a left progressive standpoint, had its readership plunge by 35 percent since April. The Real News , a nonprofit video news and documentary service, has had its search traffic fall by 37 percent. Another site, Common Dreams , last week told the WSWS that its search traffic had fallen by up to 50 percent."

"As extreme as these sudden drops in search traffic are, they do not equal the nearly 70 percent drop in traffic from Google seen by the WSWS."

It would be nice to have some independent verification of these numbers, if only because some will doubt their veracity due to the source(s) being considered part of the political "fringe."
