The last three paragraphs are worth the read of this article along.

On the other hand, it's not unheard of for a company to decide that they'd like to cater to one side of the political spectrum and to simply not worry about the customers that they're losing.

It's also not unheard of for individuals within companies to make this sort of decision without sanction from management. If you have been in the industry long enough you will know of what I speak...it's not just politics, it can be anything they think the company ought to be doing or they take exception to. The common element seems to be highly intelligent people with no common sense who are great at what they do but d*s*t WRT actual reality.

Which reminds me - there are some influential programmers working on Google search algorithms and news who are Muslim, proud of it, and certain of the influence of religion in everyday life. I speak from personal knowledge, I'm not sure you would find this on the web via Google (they might have appeared in some of the Google Tech videos).

Funny thing, where I wrote "actual reality" above, I really said "consensual reality" in my stream of consciousness. I have the same tendency, too - I had to censor a bunch of too-specific trivia out of this post.
