Smearing Google

Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 09:36:37 PM PDT

Well here we go for another edition of the Swiftboat.

This time on Google.  
The MSNBC article that is being currently framed in a way as to make Google 'evil' is here


Google officials characterized the censorship concessions in China as an excruciating decision for a company that adopted "don't be evil" as a motto. But management believes it's a worthwhile sacrifice.

This kinda forces them to go on the defensive.  Nevermind that China holds the note on our debt for the war which is an unforgivable sin in my book.

The badly frame poll is here as well.

Update! And lookee who doesn't get spanked for censoring: Good Ol Rupert
Other companies have openly supported repressive policies. Last month, Beijing bent rules to give Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. a stake in its telecommunications network, following a speech by Murdoch's son -- who heads his father's Asian operations -- denouncing the Falun Gong as an "apocalyptic cult."
