Google Begins Socialist Brainwashing

Google cranks up the Consensus Engine

by Andrew Orlowski - December 12th, 2008 - The Register (London)

Google this week admitted that its staff will pick and choose what appears in its search results. It's a historic statement - and nobody has yet grasped its significance.

Not so very long ago, Google disclaimed responsibility for its search results by explaining that these were chosen by a computer algorithm. The disclaimer lives on at Google News, where we are assured that:

The selection and placement of stories on this page were determined automatically by a computer program.

A few years ago, Google's apparently unimpeachable objectivity got some people very excited, and technology utopians began to herald Google as the conduit for a new form of democracy. Google was only too pleased to encourage this view. It explained that its algorithm "relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. "

That Google was impartial was one of the articles of faith. For if Google was ever to be found to be applying subjective human judgment directly on the process, it would be akin to the voting machines being rigged.

The article by Orlowski then notes how what can only be called the "global socialist movement" found a way to rig Google results. The bland reaction by Google finally relented when enough people were outraged and Google made changes they said were designed to fix these rigged results. They assured us the problem would never happen again.

Now we find that once again Google is biasing its results, and once again it is in service to the "global socialist movement". Since it is clear from what we have learned of the politics of Google employees (who are almost universally advocates of the "global socialist movement") why are we not surprised?

Anyone who uses Google needs to be suspicious of their results. In some searches randomly conducted I found Walmart is always way down the list compared with their marketing results for the same products. With the passionate hatred for Walmart by the "global socialist movement" who with a rationale brain thinks this bias is not intentional?

Last year during the election, articles critical of Sarah Palin always appeared at the top of searches immediately, while articles that defended her were on the second page. Who with a rationale brain thinks this bias is not intentional?

Google LIES. It is as simple as that. Google lies.
