If I knew a website was making foreigners rich off right wing lies and propaganda I wouldn't associate myself with it.

What about a website that Google banned from buying ads?

You should be alarmed at the fascist left trying to control any speech that doesn’t conform to the leftist propaganda of the day.

a) they aren't trying to control it, they are just saying as a private company, they are not going to disseminate lies. The lying son of a bitches can lie all they want, just not on their platform. and

b) according to the article, The Center for Countering Digital Hate reported the infractions to Google. The article notes "ZeroHedge and The Federalist have become well known in recent years for publishing far-right articles on a variety of subjects. On the recent protests, ZeroHedge published an article claiming that protests were fake, while The Federalist published an article claiming the media had been lying about looting and violence during the protests, which were both included in the research sent to Google."

Good for Google and good for the cause of truthful reporting.

Then there is peace, love, ACAB, in the Seattle CHOP. :-)

Igy, what is the connection between Google taking measures to ensure that misleading and inaccurate accusations are not spread using their platforms and the a crime committed in the CHOP area? I fail to see the connection.

Liberalism versus anyone who dares to offer a different view. We’re such awful people.

Is preferring that opposing views not be lies uniquely liberal?

Oh, but Russia conspiracy hoax or Kavanaugh hearing shenanigans were perfectly fine. Google never had a problem with that. If you recall Google was proven to persecute conservative employees, and move conservative views to the back of searches. They just are doing what serves their biases and people like yourself. I suppose this is why Congress is looking into their practices.

So, Congress is bad for the Senate Judiciary Committee questioning Judge Kavanaugh and hearing witness testimonies concerning his nomination to the Supreme Court and bad for looking into Trump's Russia Conspiracy, but it is good for looking into Google.

Can you say 'slanted?'

Great. An opinion article. Following a link to a work place allegation.

Anyhow, have a good Father’s Day. We are having the kids over. Isn’t it about time they host?

Yeah, you, too. I forgot about Father's Day.

Enjoy your weekend,

seattle, it's called "whataboutism." It's what you do when you know you're wrong, but you'd like to change the subject and focus on something the other party may be doing wrong instead.

Igy, 'whatabout' John Bolton coming out with much awaited book overflowing with how Trump hasn't done a thing since entering the WH that wasn't for the explicit purpose of furthering his self-interests, and often at the expense of the people he was elected (and in the electoral college sense) to serve?

I am not defending Trump. Talk about “whataboutism.”

Of course Racket never does that, except when he goes into his frequent boomer rants.
