GOOGLE's Anti-Conservative Agenda
RightMarch ^ | 5-3-05 | Bill Greene

Posted on 05/03/2005 11:33:07 AM PDT by Bob J

This CONSERVATIVE ALERT is a special message for Bob Johnson from RightMarch.com: ALERT: Do you think we have a hard time fighting against the left-wing bias of the liberal mainstream media?

Well you're right -- but it's worse than you thought.

Now, it turns out the people running the big search engines are liberally biased, too -- and they're CENSORING conservative search ad results!

Specifically, we're talking about the biggest search engine: GOOGLE. Everyone uses Google. It's even a verb now -- "I'll Google that to find out."

But it's also an advertising vehicle -- you can pay Google money, and they'll put your short ad on the right-hand side of the page of search results, based on what people are searching for.

Well, we saw that if you typed in "Tom DeLay", all of the ads were ANTI-DeLay ads. So, we took the time and spent the money so that our PRO-DeLay ad would show up too -- first.

But then we wanted to also put up an ad that exposed the hypocrisy of the Democrats -- basically, showing how the Democrats are going after Congressman DeLay for things that they've done MUCH WORSE in. So, we copied one of the ads posted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee almost WORD FOR WORD, but changed "Tom DeLay" (the GOP leader) to "Nancy Pelosi" (the Democrat leader, who violated ethics rules much worse than what DeLay is accused of).

That's all we did -- we took the LIBERAL ad, and changed the words to make it a CONSERVATIVE ad.

And Google CENSORED our ad.

They pulled the ad, and the reason they gave was, "Google policy does not permit ad text that advocates against an individual, group or organization."

But the LIBERAL ad is still up. Click Here to take a look at the liberal ad; then look at our ad (and Google's rejection) by clicking here.

OUTRIGHT DISCRIMINATION! So now we need YOUR help to expose this blatant anti-conservative bias at the largest search engine on the planet!

TAKE ACTION: We're launching a major media blitz TODAY, with press releases to every media outlet in the country, plus broadcast interviews and an expose' on our weekly radio show this week. We're also placing this Action Alert across a network of major news websites, and dozens of blogs are already picking up this story. Google may think they have a "right" to apply their rules differently to different people -- but WE have a right to SPEAK UP when we see them exhibiting BLATANT liberal bias!

We need YOUR help. We've set up our site so that you can send messages to YOUR local media -- newspapers, television, radio, etc. -- DEMANDING that they report on the LIBERAL BIAS of the largest search engine in the world.

You can only send to five local media sources at a time on our system, but feel free to use our pre-written form repeatedly to FORCE the media to DO THEIR JOBS and report on this bias. Click here NOW to send your messages (we recommend you re-write the letter in your own words, to have a better chance of getting it published):

We don't have to sit idly by anymore when we see this kind of anti-conservative, pro-liberal bias ANYWHERE. Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants to help DEMAND that the mainstream media report on Google's ideological discrimination. Thank you!

Sincerely,

William Greene, President RightMarch.com

Or you could do another ad with different wording.Google is fussy and your top list in your search is paid for by key word to direct to websites paid by those websites and they bid on words for placement.

I use Google all the time for research in my work. It's the best thing out there. But I ignore the ads. That isn't just because of any liberal bias in the ads, but to remain sane and to avoid wasting time. Everyone else should do the same.

Of course, if you're trying to advertise with Google, you have a bigger issue.

Try googling "Honorary Serb", or another Freeper who is more your favorite than am I. You'll get a lot of good hits. They can't censor us totally without compromising the quality of their search engine, which they do not want to do for obvious reasons.

You want your money back?


"Doesn't sound like much of an improvement, does it?"


No, it doesn't.


FWIW ... I use Google for most of my searches.

Seems the Liberal world begins just outside of my front door. I have to deal with it.

The results for searches have to do with how many people have linked to the site and how many links there are to the linking sites.

So a link for Freep counts a lot more than a link from my personal site.

The search results are all automated - if there is any bias its in the human review of the ads... and one example doesn't prove a trend - we need a better study for any valid conclusions.

Maybe neither of the previous ads were supposed to get past since they were negative.

Finetuning your website to be on top of Google search result is better.

Why can't FreeRepublic establish a web search site -- with all the dollars it will bring. The Freepers have the expertise!

Just as there could be googling the net, there could also be freep for creeps on the net.

Here's a question... Why are so many of the highly visible companies liberal and doing so well? Microsoft, Google, Starbucks, Ben & Jerry's, Costco, etc... And if Republicans are so smart, how come so many Rats are wealthy (ie: in senate) Just perplexing to me - it would seem that all who are involved in business would understand economics and the burden that taxes have on our freedoms and economies.
