As ethically wrong as Google is operating in, this is a witch trial by name. This is the GOP desperately trying to find a villain when its clear they are.

Why does everyone on here always just call out Fox? Are you not aware that CNN, MSNBC and others do this same thing?
Fox News is in no way "the same" as CNN/MSNBC. It's straight up GOP/conservative propaganda that in some cases dictates official policy.
The actual news and journalism that fox news and CNN puts out is fine. The opinion/analysis sections of both sites are heavily partisan in one way or the other though.

#83I don’t get it. What could Pichai possibly gain from participating in this kind of theatrics?
I wasn't the one that downvoted you because there's a common misunderstanding that appearing before Congress is an optional invitation and therefore the people choosing to do it must be mentally insane or stupid since there's nothing to gain from it. The reason people testify before Congress is because they ultimately have no choice. Congress has this nuclear option called a "subpoena"[1] to force you to appear. Now,…

Isn't it? It's hard to interpret https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-googl... otherwise.
Just because a company's leadership dislikes Trump doesn't mean they'll ruin the integrity of their product.

The prev admin prosecuted more leakers than any prev admin, current admin believes “ fake news” rather than “the press” are the enemy of the people. Now, I know they have their biased method to classify unbiased press from biased, but your assertion just reinforces their claim because you’re conflating one with the other, as most news are wont to do. Doing themselves little favor. A fair question is to ask whether bi…
"current admin believes “ fake news” rather than “the press” are the enemy of the people." But they also define "fake news" to be any outlet that isn't praising them constantly.

Have you read CNN in the past 2 years? They are blatantly anti-trump and frequently push their 'analysis'(ie opinion) section as the top-billed story on their homepage. The actual news and journalism that fox news and CNN puts out is fine. The opinion/analysis sections of both sites are heavily partisan in one way or the other though.
More importantly.. check the results. A majority of Fox News viewers believe things like Obama was born in Kenya, or Saddam Hussein really had WMD, despite these being obviously false. Multiple studies by different organizations have indicated that Fox News viewers are less informed than no news viewers on any political topic involving 'alternative facts'.
The proof is in the pudding.

The problem is that hand wavy arguments that appear to be equivalent are are upon deeper inspection, not. But, by the time you dig and invest into clarifying the differences and nullifying the equivalence, you’ve already diverted from the original topic. This is why it is used by Politicians and shitty news channels, and this is why whataboutism needs to stop. Let’s focus objectively on the topic at hand. Furthermore…
The topic at hand is "fuck China specifically" in this subthread. I point out similar behavior among other world powers, raise the question of what's so specific, and you call it whataboutism. You stop it. I was arguing to the topic in good faith.
They are two completely separate atrocities that are only discussed together to distract from one or the other depending on who is whatabouting.

"My news source tells the truth, yours is propaganda". Try to not be so partisan. They both push propaganda.
While they both push BS, if you compare them to the rest of the worlds news sources you will see that most news align with CNN/MSNBC. Or let me put this way: The rest of the (educated) world laugh at the people that watch Fox News.

It's sad that the 'educated' laugh. You'd think with all their wisdom they would be able to reach out and save the feable minded. Instead they just laugh from the ivory tower. It's a sad world we live in. Even sadder that it's widely accepted as okay, even lauded.
If you've ever had family or friends that delve deep into conspiracies, there's no amount of rational argument, logic, data or facts you can bring up that help them.

The definition of bigotry has tilted so far to the radical left that expressing simple, widely expected scientific findings get you labeled as a bigot/racist/sexist/alt-right/etc. The issue is not that they are discriminating against just conservative policy or thought. It is that any and all disagreement with radical leftist ideology is considered some form of hate speech in need of censorship.
