#3> “We are afraid of Google,” wrote Mathias Döpfner, chief executive of Axel Springer
By quoting him the article has directly made itself extremely suspect, since the publishing house Springer owns the biggest and worst fact- and politics-mangling tabloid in germany, Bild.

Not to mention the irony that is a man powerful enough not only to influence politicians but to seemigly appointment them complaining about some other entity's supposed influence, that entity unsurprisingly being a competitor.

I don't know anything about Bild, and only know Springer as the publisher of expensive low-print-run sometimes-poorly-formatted academic books. But isn't this like saying that the Wall Street Journal isn't credible because the same company also publishes the New York Post?

No, it's like saying the Wall Street Journal would be suspect if the same company publishes FOX News, or the Daily Mail. Publications that openly lie, distort and abuse; on a massive scale; to serve their own political slant.
Addendum: To clarify how terrible Bild is, consider this website: http://www.bildblog.de/ It is a blog dedicated to pointing out factual mistakes in the Bild publication. They have been running since 2004.

I'm not sure if this is deliberate or not, but until 2013, the Wall Street Journal and FOX News were owned by the same company..

It is pretty embarassing that we completely rely on Americans for tech. And that's despite larger population and higher density, better Internet connectivity, free higher education in many places... I don't think it's Google's fault though.
