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 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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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).

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.
