Content 'unacceptable' despite search giant's 'Hate Bush' themes
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
A conservative book publisher says the search engine giant Google rejected his ad for a book critical of Bill and Hillary Clinton while continuing to accept anti-Bush themes.
Eric Jackson, CEO of World Ahead, said his ads for "Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine" were rejected, without futher explanation, due to "unacceptable content."
Jackson says Google's online ad guidelines make no mention of political content being disallowed.
He points out that while ads for the anti-Clinton book -- which featured images of the book's cover and pictures of the former first couple -- were deemed offensive, the company continues to run ads for overtly liberal advertisers with headlines such as "Hate Bush? So Do We," and "George W. Bush fart doll."
As WorldNetDaily reported, 98 percent of all political donations by Google employees went to support Democrats.
CEO Eric Schmidt gave the maximum legal limit of donations to Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry and to primary candidate Howard Dean.
Schmidt also contributed the maximum amount to Sen. Clinton, whose role in helping her husband intimidate his female accusers is addressed in the new book.
Last month, Google, valued recently at $80 billion, rejected an attempt by the conservative activist group RightMarch.com to run ads critical of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., while continuing to run attack ads against besieged House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.
Also, Google has agreed to allow the communist Chinese government to have the search engine block "objectionable" search terms such as "democracy." (My emphasis.)
The company came under fire for a recent editorial decision to rank news articles in search results by "quality," giving preferential placement to large and predominately liberal media outlets such as CNN and the BBC over conservative news sources, even if they are more recent or pertinent.
Nice to hear from you FRiend!!! Hope all is well with you and yours!!!
Thank you for suggesting it.
"I am now usung clusty"
Never heard of http://clusty.com, but thanks for the tip. Just added it to my Firefox search engine list and made it my default (replacing Google).
Thanks for the link to Clusty - I've bookmarked it and will give it a try.
I like the presentation layer of Kartoo. Only French product I use. Makes it easier to sift through all the sites returned, and to narrow down your search.
Hello Robert! Best regards. :-)
"Sounds like malware to me--"
Wasn't my problem. It was Marauder's
Appreciate the info- I'll take a look at it.
They accept XXX ads which demean Bush in order to raise money for the DNC, I've posted links here before.
It takes a little getting used to, but is very useful.
Dang, I thought I got rid of that. Ever since I visited a DU site, when ever I put up a post the browser changes the name of the freeper I'm responding to. I've tried restoring, virus checking, and adware removal so if anyone here has had better luck than me please pass it on.
I, as have most, accepted media for what it is, a liberal bias focus on news. If circulation was not decreasing one could argue the other side, but it's a cold hard fact. Your demise has begun as well. The unjustifiable audacity to deny business because it conflicts with your political beliefs is socialistic. What would be the reaction of "your" pundits if FOX or EIB were doing the same? I have reprogrammed a new search engine for my LAN. I am not alone.
Sounds like a prime time for a good contender for the google throne.
Thank you, Robert.
I bookmarked it so I can use it and get accustomed to it. Thanks.
Wow. Funky to go from your first link and see Freeperland aka. 2000 and the different appearnace. Pretty cool.
Holy freakin' cow! My business just came up #1!
Thanks.

An exorcism comes to mind.
