No surprise. I watched in horror as google “disappear” half a million hits on image searches for ‘obama birth certificate’ in mid-July 2008.
They have long since declared their allegiance to the truth.

The story is garbage. It implies that Google is allowing BP to bribe it to manipulate its search results. However, all Google is doing is running its standard business model, namely to get well paid to provide advertising precisely targeted based on search terms. Somebody's got to pay to keep those servers running. It might as well be BP.
Google's oil spill SERP does have a link to www.BP.com/OilSpillNews at the top, but it is clearly labeled as a sponsored link
, not a search result.

"If there's ever been a corporatist criminal that ought to be banned from the U.S, it's BP."Sounds like a good plan to me, but it going to take a new administration in 2013 to make that happen.
