Google This!

“Barney Google,” the long popular comic strip, has been deceased for about 50 years or so. Some feel Google, Inc., the fabulously successful and wealthy internet search engine, should follow suit posthaste.

The reason? Strong rumors have long been afoot that Google is about as objective and unbiased as Wikipedia and regularly directs its millions of information-seekers in the direction it wants them seeking, often to politically correct, liberal-slanted search results.

Google was previously caught with its objectivity and algorithms down in searches dealing with Islam and Christianity.

When you typed in “Christianity is” on a Google search the first results included websites headed ”Christianity is bullsh*t . . . a lie” and “Christianity is absurd and stupid.” When you typed “Islam is,” the returns were historical and informational sites on that religion.

Whether Google was programmed to avoid negative references to the faith of 1.2 billion Muslims out of fear of retaliation, (remember Salman Rushdie?), is unclear but it sure seemed that way, but why would “Christianity seekers” first see derogatory websites pop up?

Also, anyone who employed Google for research on controversial subjects knows that Google recently was big into censorship of what it deemed “hate speech.” It would either re-direct the researcher to more PC websites or posted notices indicating that the sites turned up were biased.

Now Google is under renewed scrutiny in Europe. . .
