JEW-HAtred exposeD

Fresh off the heels of Google pandering to Chinese demands to self-censor in exchange for access to the 1.2 billion strong Chinese market (see here and here), Google has found itself in another battle. It appears as though Google has now made another “mistake” - it is using, Al Manar, the terrorist group Hezbollah’s news service as a feed in Google News.

According to the Counterterrorism Blog, Google has made some shady selections when it comes to their new sources. They seem to be rejecting some with the excuse that they “do not include sites that contain hate speech”. Anybody who has been paying attention to the Middle East in the last 15 years knows that Hezbollah spews garbage as hateful as can be. They portray Jews as child-killers, blood drinkers and other lovely characters. Is it really appropriate for Google to view Al Manar as a reliable news service?

If you think Google has erred in their judgement to have Al Manar as a news provider, email them at source-suggestions@google.com. Hopefully if enough people complain, Google will take this issue seriously and will make the appropriate changes.
