Googlegate?

I wonder what’s going on with Google and Climategate?   Specifically, I mean why doesn’t the premier mega-search resource’s suggestion function work when you enter “Climategate?”   Enter “Global Warming,” for example and you’ll instantly get at least a dozon suggestions; same thing with “Climate Change.”    But with “Climategate – even though it records many more hits than the other two – nada, nyet, nichts, nihil, nothin’.   Is this a coincidence?  Maybe.  But maybe Google thinks it doesn’t need to be too helpful for those global warming deniers, either.  You have to wonder.

    I posted this on the facebook page:

    Its fixed. The word on the street is that some staff at Google are sympathetic to far left causes and are actively PR0ing (Page Rank 0) the dissenters of such causes and personalities regardless of whether or not they endorse domestic terrorism.

    I’ll just leave this over here:

    Unless those staffers are going to spend all day for the next couple of weeks in the office there’s no way for them to keep this down. That and now they would have to PR0 the people that could make some noise in the old media because, those people ARE the old media.

    Its rock and a hard place now. Either show your hand and possibly have the whole company screwed as a result, or sit back and watch one of your pet causes slowly get picked apart.

    Yesterday Google had a link on its main search page, just below the search box, that said something like “View the areas of the globe affected by climate change on Google Earth.” See http://www.google.com/landing/cop15/, with a video narrated by Al Gore.

    Thanks Ashley. I guess we need to realize, though, that Climategate just isn’t newsworthy. I mean really, what’s the big deal? Scientists manipulating crucial data or suppressing dissenting views? C’mon, now. If you want to see something that does count, just think back several years when the New York Times provided daily, front-page coverage on the Augusta Country club’s refusal to admit lady golfers. Now THERE’S a story, don’t you think?
