Google "Disappears" Moveon Hate-Petraeus Page cache (GONE This Morning!)

Google ^ | June 24, 2010 | Google's harried web programmers

[an amused spectator]

Freeper GreenAccord gave me the heads-up this morning that the Google web cache of the Moveon Hate-Petraeus page has itself gone missing.

One could say that it's just Google's busy little web cache automated spiders doing their job all unattended like and that they finally got around to scraping the Moveon website caches and updating their information.

EXCEPT for the fact that a Google web cache of ANOTHER Moveon page that was taken at nearly the same time as the Moveon Hate Petraeus page is STILL THERE, and hasn't been updated.

So, there were phone calls, email messages, etc. and some web programmers had to put in some extra hours taking care of the Toxic Little Moveon Petraeus Web Page Embarrassment.

Hopefully, the web programmers were hourly guys and not salary, so I can claim that I did my bit to generate some more work for the economy.

Shout out to Moveon's and Google's programmers: You know, guys - programmers should have a little more ethics than the political weasels they work for, being as how programming is one of the hard sciences.

How you guys can sleep at night knowing that you're "disappearing" information for a crowd of Fascists & Socialists is beyond me.

Seriously, do people actually imagine that Google sits there like good little drones and goes and sweeps up for liberals? I mean, really, they'd need tens of thousands to do that job, what with every idiot thing liberals do on a daily basis. Even having the largest data farms on the internet, there's gotta be some limit to what they can keep cached and online at any one time.

my goodness, Google is a compliant little agency of state-run media, isn’t it

The Will Ferrell web page was cached 1 second after the Petraeus web page on June 18, 2010 - both from the http://pol.moveon.org site.

Seems so. It’s all a conspiracy, you betcha.

See my post #4. They cached ANOTHER page from the same site one second later - and it's still there, whereas the Petraeus page is Missing In Action.

A programmer or three had to manually intervene to make that go away. I'm in the business, so I know what had to happen.

What we need now is for these three monkeys to wear shirts with the Google logo on them.

[kristinn]

Yes, Google would do this for Obama and MoveOn. Otherwise it is nearly impossible to request items be removed from Google Cache.

[nascarnation]

Well done - thanks for posting that.
It may come in handy.

So, deport - why is the Will Ferrell Google web cache still there from June 18th, if it was a "routine" pass by the Google data scrapers?
