One reason not to listen too Kim Komando.Credible sources my a$$.
Kim just lost all credibility. I have been a subscriber to her emails for several years, but that just ended in about 2 minutes from now.
I stopped reading HUffPost a long time ago. As I recall, it stated that all news about Trump will be on entertainment pages.
Maybe Kim is misinformed. I do know that Kim is against net neutrality and explains that it’s big companies seeking more control on the net and blasted young people for foolishly following in lockstep with the media
It might be leftist, but HuffPost does have excellent stories on fashion, cooking, traveling, and entertainment.
“Does Kim know something we do not? Probably. She is the self proclaimed “Digital Goddess”.”
I have zero respect for anyone that gets their tech info or advice from this person, and have for 20 years.
I always figured Kim was fairly conservative; I met her a few times in the old days at conservative gatherings in Phoenix.
She is married to an old conservative KFYI talk radio host, Barry Young... (although admittedly I always considered Barry to be a fair amount less conservative than I)
I thought so as well. That is why I was flumoxed by her comment. Maybe she was using it as a term of art, as in "the sources that Google defines as credible in their algorithm".
I would like to know, one way or another.
Could it be that Google rates sources by how many hits they get? That is how I used to understand the search engine to work.
Yeah, I thought it might be something like that too.
Maybe she will clarify.
While I like Leo, Security Now is the only one of his podcasts that I still listen to.
Cause of the other guy.
I heard this exchange. Kim was typical “what are talking about you paranoid conservative nut job?” dismissive, patronizing, condescension.
I maintain that Kim sounds like a man. Just sayin.
Kim’s ‘Man Voice’ took a while to get used to, and can still throw me off if I awaken to her weekend radio show.
I’ll think; “Who is he?”. That said, Kim seems to be having a good time on the air. She runs an entertaining show for people like me, who are not very tech savvy and don’t necessarily wish to be.
What other guy?
Thanks for the backup.
That was my immediate uptake as well. But if you look at it objectively, and Google is using links to those leftist sources as a measure of who they should steer clicks too, it is major evidence of ideological bias.
More than just bias, it verges on thought control.
I’m hoping Kim Komando misspoke. I hope she did.
It takes a special kind of fool, or perhaps someone stunningly gullible or ignorant, to believe these sources are in any way "credible." NYT, HufPo??? Seriously? I would believe anything printed in supermarket checkout line tabloids over anything printed in these rags.
Same. This person is in way over her head in technology and now politics.
Leo Laport is pro net neutrality and is fairly lib when he mentions anything political. I quit listening to Komado quite awhile ago, was surprised she is antiNN
