    It looks like Google will dominate the information highway of the future. So do you think Google will help big business Republicans or do as you please, Liberal Democrats?

    Will porn get filtered, or God?

    Just wondered what you thought Google will do with its' power?

    Does Google News seem Liberal?

    Google won't filter anything unless they are forced to by government pressure (read: China).

    If G-News seems liberal to you, then you must think the media is liberal. Journalists tend to lean slightly left, but not much.

    Google donations are almost primarily towards democrats. There highlight news is almost always of the left perspective. If journalists lean left, it's not an excuse for an objective new source to go with the lean...they're to demonstrate the spectrum of perspectives.

    But hey, few people do that.

    I don't know if there will be bias...but I thought I saw or read where one of the heads of google said something about a "truth or fact filter" that could be applied to all types of political ads.
