Guest MikeSC Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Google Accused of Liberal Bias After Refusing Conservative Ads ATLANTA, May 4, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The world's most popular search engine just lost points with Political Conservatives by turning down ads placed by RightMarch.com. William Greene is founder of the firebrand conservative web site that dispatches millions of emails to its grassroots base. His organization has published full page ads in national newspapers supporting US conservative politicians Don Rumsfeldt, Tom DeLay and John Bolton. But just as RightMarch.com attempted to launch a new wave of ad buys with Google.com, much to their amazement, Google refused the paid ad. Greene took an existing anti-DeLay ad and changed the name "Tom DeLay" to "Nancy Pelosi" (a left-leaning Democrat) yet Google refused the anti-Pelosi ad and continues to run the anti-DeLay ads. Greene said, "Simply put, Google is censoring conservative search ad results. Nancy Pelosi violated ethics rules far worse than what DeLay is accused of. All we did was to take a liberal ad and make it conservative. Isn't turnabout fair play?" The official reason Google cited for refusing the ad was: "Google policy does not permit ad text that advocates against an individual, group or organization." The question remains, said Greene, "If Google allows ads advocating against Tom DeLay, does this mean that Google does not recognize Tom DeLay as being a human being?" http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/may/05050402.html Thanks to Instapundit for the link. Seems a little odd that they would refuse a verbatim transcript of an ad that they've already approved, no? I hope Google isn't becoming politicized. -=Mike ...And, while the employees gave overwhelmingly to the Dems (98% of their money went to them), the owners have never made political donations to date...

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted May 5, 2005 It'd be beneficial for a SEARCH ENGINE to not have political bias. Kinda makes them less trustworthy. -=Mike ...I'd also like to hear a justification for anti-Delay ads, given their statements about the Pelosi ads... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Well, this is from her 10/20/04 column: There's no consensus position, but the Democrats are pretty sure the real reason we went to Iraq was one of the following: - Bush family's connections to the Saudis, - Halliburton, - the Carlyle Group, - something about the Texas Rangers needing more left-handed pitching, - the neoconservatives, - the Straussians, - oil, - the Jews, - oily Jews.
