And this is just scratching the service. Check out any of the sites listed. They are all vehemently against the war in Iraq.

Prison Planet, Indymedia, Democracy Now, Cuba's Prense Latina, the Peoples Weekly World, the Workers World -- these are all "news outlets" according to Google.

Uruknet is a site which celebrates the "Iraqi Resistance."

Even BTC, which is a minuscule hard left blog named "Betty The Crow" productions. (Its slogan is "if it says it's news it must be true." Apparently that is Google's philosophy as well.)

Obviously no site is too small or too far left for Google to ignore if it smears the US.

But what else can one expect from a company that gives MoveOn.org millions and wants to see it control the internet?

[Sam Hill]

Yes, Gore has a lot of Google stock, as well as being a member of the board.

And, as I noted, Google has teamed up with MoveOn.org to try to control internet content:

Google: MoveOn.org's Million-dollar Sugar Daddy | NewsBusters.org
http://newsbusters.org/node/5372

Google and MoveOn are for "net neutrality" don't you know. And they are trying to get Congress to pass legislation putting them in charge of judging "neutrality."

Google is giving MovOn.org millions to push this.

Meanwhile, they are banning conservative sites from their News search engine:

Business is business? Google is only going along because their pals are liberals.

[dangus]

Well, you DID google "Haditha massacre." Hence, it's only natural that the sources you'd get are all those which are so inflammatory that they would call it a "massacre." Even if accurate, "massacre" just has an explosive tone. What does this mean then? That AP, UPI, Reuters, and the major newspapers aren't calling it a massacre, or aren't presuming that their audience knowns what Haditha is so as to place the words closest to each other.... or they've moved on.

Googling just "Haditha" got me Reuters, Bloomberg, Daily Telegraph, Chicago Tribune, Fox News, CBC, ABC, CBS-5, NPR, Washington Post, Washington Times, and NY Times. I would also not be surprised if there were some less hystrionic news sources which simply moved on already.

Of course, that still doesn't mean Google isn't Satanicly evil.

The Google feedback link I posted earlier no longer works.

But this one does:

[Sam Hill]

I know it's a chore to actually read the thread, but all of your (obvious and errant) points have been previously addressed.

[notigar]

Don't go getting all logical.

[notigar]

Not true. Newsmax came up as 2 of the top few sources when I did Haditha Marines. And the rest of the sources weren't close to the same.

[Sam Hill]

Please see my previous post.

It is simply outrageous for Google to use such propaganda sites as Cliff Floyd's blog as a news source.

The brilliant revelation (LOL) that they also cite ABC News does nothing to less the truth of that.

Google claims they review these sites to see that they are legitimate. And they have removed many "conservative" sites which were much more legitimate news sources for using "hate speech" like "terrorists."

But don't let the facts get in the way of your unfounded feelings of superior knowledge about this.

[Sam Hill]

You're pretty thick, I guess. (Have much Google stock?)

I never said that these were the ONLY sources cited.

Again, don't bother to read. Just spout. It's the best way to always think you are right.

[Liberty Valance]

Thanks for that info.

[notigar]

"It's the best way to always think you are right."

It's also the right way to always think best.

[roses of sharon]

Thanks for the thread Sam, its good to see what the enemy is writing and WHO gives them an front and center forum.

It's also a good troll bait thread! Very telling who raises their hands in defense of Google, (who btw, has never managed to find a way to honor Memorial Day with a graphic).

[Sam Hill]

You're certainly right about the "troll bait."

I just clicked on some of the homepages of these Google defenders. And see their latest "in forum posts."

Man alive. Get the Raid.
