> no links are ever broken.

I'd take my broken links over Google's "Did you mean..." any time. Practically speaking, except for constantly recommended stuff, Google's memory doesn't go more than a year or so back in the past, unless you know very precisely what you are looking for (at the very least, title and author of stuff).

Probably depends on what you're looking for?

When I'm googling for coding tips, I often find blogposts that are several years old simply because they're still relevant and still solve my problem.

Guess it's different for news ... but I wouldn't look for old news anyway. Or at least I haven't needed to so far.
