On purported bias at Google, a commenter at Bill Quick's site noted:This morning I was at (gasp) Ann Coulter's web site (please don't tell anyone). Evidently, Coulter is not aware that Google has tweaked their Google ads on her site-- they are anti-Bush google ads. How creative. I am sure there are some google folks laughing about that one in the bars after work. There have been the news problems, and the search results for Bush that are tweaked, the LGF posts, etc. But the Coulter thing has finally hit me. I am officially searching for a new search site. It will not be easy as many of the other sites, such as Ice Rocket, are still trying to get it right. I have sent email to google before about Google News and got a response like, "we strive to include as many news sources as possible" yada, yada, yada. Want to suggest a site: source-suggestions@google.com
The Google folks may be laughing. I'll bet Ann Coulter is too, though. If you want to spank both Google and the lefties, visit Anne - and Google - early and often. What could be better than to drive up Anne's revenues while draining the leftists' ad budget - money wasted on an unreceptive audience.
Google, the corporation, should be watching this. Not because they're good people who aspire only to being fair. But because they're a business. Word gets out that "targeted" ads are being seen and clicked principally by antagonists of the advertisers and Google's business model is out the window.
