[COLUG] Google Engaged In Censorship in the U.S.

[Scott Webster Wood]

Assume as you wish, I watched the first half and when i didn't see a single direct bibliographical reference, I stopped wasting my time.  It's a bunch of anti-bush/anti-cheney propaganda.  He quotes so many alleged sources, but then only flashes words from the documents he claims to be pulling them off of so fast that you can't read the whole context.  I'd be willing to bet, I could take the average inane posting to this list and make it quite sellacious sounding if I took that approach with a little creative editorial license.

The fact of the matter is that whether google purposely manipulated statistics on this video is still quite in question and their explanation sounds reasonable.  The author of the last link even stated that he can't 'disprove' their claim then went on to comment with even more speculative nonsense.  And the point of the matter is, that this - to my knowledge - is not a politically affiliated action user list.  If it is, someone please inform me so I may opt out.
