There have been a number of complaints about Google. Enough that I had no doubts that some censorship was going on. However, having worked in large organizations, I knew that “unofficial” censorship can happen, even when it is frowned upon. When you get a clatche of the uber-hip together, I expect some of that, whether management approves or not.

However, the interesting thing about this is that Google has just come out and admitted it, and stated they are a part of it. This cannot be good for google itself.

I am not one of those who is constantly screaming about the cultural biases we have, nor do I have much respect for the constant petulant whininess of conservatives about it. I happen to believe that the militant atheistic hatred of Christian values by elements of our culture make for wonderful evangelistic opportunities, and great chances to argue for freedom, liberty, and a rollback of federal power.

My purpose in posting the article was not to alert freepers to the fact that goog is biased (in your words “DUH”). It was a notice that things are out there and above board in the bias.

Thanks for the coment, anyway.

I tend to view their “admission” as Yeah, we cheat, and....

I rarely rant on the subject and I said I haven’t used it in over a year, it’s been longer than that. It became blatantly obvious when I searched for “anti-global warming” and got articles on flat earthers.

Their admission is akin to the MSM reporting that there is corruption in Illinois politics.
