“On the surface, this makes little sense. Obama’s policies have targeted businesses with remorseless cruelty, setting them up as villains in the class conflict Obama wishes to precipitate. Facebook, Apple, and Google are three of the most successful businesses of the 21st century. Yet all three seem to be mobilizing in favor of the Obama Administration. “
Come on Ben. You are smarted than this. What does Facebook, Google and Apple all have in common? CONTROL OF INFORMATION & DELIVERY OF THAT INFORMATION. “Control the information you control the people.”
They want to be the ones delivering the “word” of Liberalism. The MSM is almost dead. One day in the near future, everyone will be walking around, sitting on the bus or subway using an IPad type of device to get their news.
Google, Apple, Facebook is vying to become the new MSM. We shouldn’t complain though. With no “Fairness Doctrine”, (which I do not support) Liberals can do whatever they want with these companies and we either get into the game or not.
Look at what Palin did on Facebook. Heck, Drudge gets information by aggregating from Google. We are there. We just have to exploit it the way the Libs do.
