If you think that Google...

SDAI-Tech1 — 7/4/2006 1:10:39 AM (archived)

...searches are not already carefully filtered through a politically biased screen you are amazingly naive - especially so for a programmer! And if if you think Google can act as an Oracle for the masses you are equally mistaken.

Its super easy to create rank filters for keywords excluding positive sites and including negative ones if one is so inclined. Google and other search engines only present a fraction of the real WWW.

Google, Google News, Google Image Search and other aspects of Google are part of the mainstream media and act as a reinforcement for flawed belief systems. Leftism is just as outdated as Christianity or Islam and its practitioners are equally convinced of their greater enlightenment and superiority over others.

That most programmers lean left is not a secret either.
