It would only be sueable libel, if the Google Search Results page pointed to a private citizen, and if Google wasn't a search engine.

Well known public officials (Governors, Dept Heads, etc, but NOT rank and file gov't employees), and politicians have a MUCH LOWER standard of their own privacy.

If I made a webpage that said Christopher is an evil (fill-in-the-blank) and I didn't back it up, I could easily be sued for libel.

Tho if I said that President Bush or former President Bill Clinton is an evil (fill-in-the-blank), it wouldn't be libel, since they're public officials.


But to your original point, yes Google is very left wing. I personally have no problem with websites that have political biases, but I don't like it when they claim to be unbiased. Like the New York Times, all cable news channels (Fox News does admit to being center-right at least, tho they're going too far left for my tastes lately).

One of Google's main rules is "Don't be Evil"... I'm still wondering how they can still say that to themselves when they've been found out multiple times of outing forbidden blog authors on Blogger.com (owned by Google) to the Communist Red Chinese government thugs.

Money is the root of all evil they say, and I'd bet they have an agreement to oust the forbidden blog authors to the chinese govt, or google is blocked from being used in china.

Money isn't the root of all evil, it's just that everyone has a price. Some people will sell their morals at a cheaper price than others.

Money is just a means to an end.

And yes, I seriously do think that Google has an agreement with the Red Chinese that Google will out anyone the Red Chi-Coms want, if Google wants to have a piece of the Chinese consumer/internet market.
