“ I look at search and I look at Google News and I see what it’s doing and I see Google executives go to Congress and say that it’s not manipulated. It’s not political. And I’m just so sure that’s not true.”

    When I was calling on members of Congress regularly, I likened them to 'Plastic People'. They didn't relate to the real world.

    Google products are like "i" products, they are knivers, they build obsolescence into their products. My special needs daughter is already on her second iPad and needs to upgrade again in order to continue some of the programs she really enjoys.

    I just tried to reprogram my older Chromecast devices to a new network. The program now tells me that it detected version 8, and I need version 7 or 4. Try to find a version 7 or 4 on the internet. Somehow they managed to purge the internet of the older program because they decided not to support Chromecast for PC anymore. I don't own an Android device that might work, not even a cellphone. These compatibility issues are becoming intentional.

    There is an increasing chance for something like Google executives saying, “Fire him!” and CNN later reporting that a white racist lying senior Google engineer beat himself up, tied himself to his bed post and burned his house to the ground while inside.

    I don't like any Google products, especially search. I always use Bing. Much better search engine and I don't see the same bias. (I do have an Android phone because I like Apple even less, and there are no other reasonable choices.)

    YouTube is a nice platform for a lot of ideas. Other than that, I dont have much desire to use Google, and I understand they are completely biased.

    I'm wondering how long before the big tech guys run into the Ma Bell buzz saw, and get torn to pieces. They've acquired so much across the industry, a case can be made for antitrust action by Congress. They may be banking on cover from Democrats by maintaining the bias as a form of insurance.

    “The mind is its own place, and in itself
    Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
    What matter where, if I still be the same,
    And what I should be, all but less than he
    Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at last
    We shall be free; the almighty hath not built
    Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
    Here we may reign secure, and in my choice
    To reign is worth ambition though in hell:
    Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.”
    - Lucifer in Paradise Lost

    Was Lucifer the first postmodernist?

    I have equal reservations about whose property this is, given that the internet itself was built at taxpayer expense. But I am reluctant to state that too strongly because I don't know to what extent these tech giants pay for this access....if they do at all.

    It’s like if good old trustworthy Lucifer made a new promise that became a motto in hell,
    “Don’t do evil.”

    You're right, exceller. They probably have loaded up on people who think like they do. And that by itself explains why they don't see what they're doing as biased.

    Tom Brokaw once said that he didn't believe he wasn't right down the middle, because nobody he new or hung around with thought any differently than he did. So he must be mainstream.

    My thoughts exactly.

    As FFA said, he is probably fully aware of his fate at Google.

    But one has to wonder: how long Google will get away with its lies and misleading rhetoric?

    Probably for a long time since it decked its rank and file with like minded leftists and they'll back the bias to no end.

    But even then, long practice of inbreeding has wiped many species off the face of this Earth. It'll apply to liberals as well.

    Yes it is obvious to me from my searches that there is gross bias.
    Before the defenders of big-tech come on to tell us they can do what they want with their property,
    1. Is it their property? Have shareholders voted to approve bias?
    2. Executives testify to Congress, say one thing, do another, I understand that Michael Flynn got caught on a technical interpretation but big-tech bias is obvious, pervasive, and on-going.

    He's toast, and he knew it when he came forward. He should get offers from companies that actually produce something if he is as clever as he claims to be.

    It will be interesting how long it takes Google to fire this senior engineer for telling the truth and publicly admitting that there is political bias at Google, thus Google executives are lying to Congress during their testimony.
