No, it's a public corporation with a fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value. That does not include alienating half your customer base, and the same can be said for all the major media corps. Conservative shareholders should file class action suits against every one of them.
As far as specifically Google, they're longtime liberals, but it may well be that this kind of crap is being done outside company policy by one or two moonbats. It would be worth a campaign of complaints to company executives. I have accomplished some cool things in the past by going straight to the top.
