Here’s the article “Googlewashing Revisited”.
Some puns come to mind – “So Google will be saying ‘cha-cha’ after all?”
But the problem of course is with censorship and the restriction of information.
Google has the appearance of “blind justice” and sells that but it’s ready to pull the plug and advance their own agenda when necessary.
Of course that means the system is exposed to corruption and manipulation… witness how Yahoo turned in anti-government protesters in Mainland China in order to have access to that marketplace.
Who does Google disdain and who will they censor?
The article notes that Google’s ascendancy is on the rise just as possible balancing forces in the media are imploding… not that the main stream media was ideologically different than Google in any way.
Of course with so many searches, perhaps “long tail keywords” are relatively safe. But the Blagojevich factor can apparently raise its ugly head even in the supposedly objective halls of Google.
