Last week was quiet on the POOP front - despite Google's thunderous demand for a court order the previous week.
However, my eyes have detected a bit of an anomaly in my news feeds.
I subscribe on Google News to any news article that mentions Google Groups. Until about a week ago, Google Groups was hardly ever mentioned by the media - except when Wired published its pieces exposing its broken search engine.
But now, Google Groups is receiving repeated mentions by various major news outlets encouraging people to use it. This after Google Groups had been proven to be stonewalling user complaints and refusing to delete forged posts or items that compromise users' privacy.
It's as if there's a coordinated effort by the pop-up media to promote Google Groups because they think it can be used to catch political foes.
Surprised? We shouldn't be. The media is so clearly in bed with the GOP that it continues to mislead the public for political purposes - which is why several major news organizations were already blackballed by this blog.

Yes, the media held a big meeting this week and it was decided they should start promoting Google Groups. Do you ever stop and consider whether some of the things you write on here are at all rational?
ReplyDelete2003 - "...decided they should start promoting the war in Iraq."
ReplyDelete2000 - "...decided they should start promoting George Bush's campaign."
1994 - "...decided they should start promoting the Contract with America."
See a pattern?
All the things everyone said the media did not "promote", the media promoted.
