Thanks, BECK!

What other SAFE search engines are available besides Google?

Are they all intertwined?

OK, this is just getting embarrassing for Beck.
So who does he “trust”? Yahoo? Bing (owned by Microsoft)? They’re just as “sinister” (if not more so) than Google. This guy DESPERATELY needs a reality check.

Seriously. He’s going to create a conservative search engine, cement his followers place as the John Birch Society of this generation, and finally force the GOP to break away from the crazy social neanderthals and embrace social libertarianism. That’s how you get a permanent majority.

Keep telling the inconvenient truths, Glenn!!

Absolutely. He is building a media Empire.

Now his followers wont even feel safe fact checking him, like they ever really did in the first place…

I picture him and cronies siting in a room laughing nonstop about what they can do to take it further and further till people stop buying it and it keeps blowing their minds that their followers haven’t questioned them yet. So they just keep going further…

Hello conspiracy theorist wonk!

The kooks that belong to the Church of Glen Beck ought to stop using the Google pronto – or risk going straight to hell in a hand-basket. Let us all pray to Glen that Glen is restored to sanity soon.

Buy gold and survival seeds while you still can.

i didn’t watch the clip, but Google does mine your data – through their search engine and email.

My friend works at MS in privacy, and she deals with this stuff daily and MS also deals with these issues against Google. She was telling me about how when you email, they mine your content, and start spamming you with related content. Example – a woman filed a case against Google because she had written some emails about her pregnancy and started receiving very targeted spam. She was shocked, and outraged.

Also, my friend was telling me about all the infringements on privacy Google does wrt your searches. She explained it all to me a few times, but I forget all the detail now, but it is not a joke. Beck isn’t making it up. My friend deals with all these law suits, knows the cases, etc.

She has been warning me for years to avoid using them, because of their weak privacy practices. Like Beck says, check it out for yourself…

If you want to go straight to hell, use Google. They are evil incarnate.

Remember when Google was just the little guy going against the big guys, like Microsoft and Yahoo.

Now they run so much, and are responsible for so much internet content, and actual computing hardware (he says from his Android phone) that I’m not surprised. Too big too fast leads to a lot of questions.

That way you get to still use Google, but Google gets absolutely nothing from it. No advertising revenue and none of your personal information.

there are international and national privacy laws that they have to follow, and google has been in trouble for abusing them, and still has ongoing issues. this article is 2007, and they have been forced to clean up because of losing lawsuits, but it is true.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6740075.stm

If people have a problem with Google’s business practices they can certainly object to them. Their omnipresence is pretty alarming. I think it would be a great topic for our pathetic press corps to cover. Perhaps a bit more than Obama’s birth certificate or what Sarah Palin had for breakfast today.

Beck, however, has been on this tear about how Google wants to overthrow governments and should be avoided. Avoiding Google primarily means avoiding the search engine, which happens to be the most powerful and popular engine in the world. A poster here, Magister pointed out that the algorithms that run Google’s search engine have been proven to be agnostic.

It’s going to be easy and popular for liberals to make claims that Beck is continuing to just scare the hell out of people. By using Google you can quickly find sources that poke holes in what he says. So, tell people that Google is “shilling for the government”. I’d like to hear a counterpoint to this.

“The report by the veteran cyber rights group is the result of six months’ research which scrutinised 20 popular net firms to find out how they handle the personal information users gave up when they started using such services.

None of the firms featured in the report got a “privacy friendly” rating. ”

NONE OF THE FIRMS GOT A PRIVACY FRIENDLY RATING

Whoa!

I like Carney, but I’m watching C-Span and he’s gonna’ be better for the GOP than Steele ever was!

When does Beck Media get to put someone from the other side in the press corps?

I don’t think Google is “evil,” or any of the exagerations that some want to put forth… but at the same time, simply believing that if Beck says they’re trouble, they must actually be great is just dumb.

Google, like any powerful company deserves to be explored. If their dealings are shady, they should be exposed.

I can’t stop laughing! This is absolutely hilarious! I’m sure that google execs are going “No, glenn don’t leave!” Just think; if Beck and his 3 million followers stop using google then they’ll only get 1 billion hits per day! hahahaha!

Glenn swears he won’t use the bathroom at work…unless he has too. He will go before he leaves the house…

Not that I agree with Beck on things but he has a point here.

Search on Bing and Google and you will see some very different results on many political topics that the Google people might not be onside with.

Whether you are a righty or lefty we cannot let one search engine be everyone’s bible for searching the internet. Too much possibility of hanky panky.

You’re just acting incredibly idiotic (….at least i HOPE you’re only “acting”). Even if Google has lawsuits, subpoenas and so forth against them…how is that surprising? They deal with MILLIONS and MILLIONS of searches with a 65%+ market share. It’s inevitable a large company will face legal issues.

And if your friend was so unbiased as you claim, she would have also mentioned how Bing (where your “friend” works) was CAUGHT RED HANDED stealing Google’s searches. Who knows what else they’re up to?

Again, no one cares about your friend’s BIASED opinions – except you, of course. Don’t kid yourself otherwise.

“He just doesn’t trust them, has decided he won’t use their products unless he has to, and thinks his viewers should look into them (not using Google, of course).”

Good. Now I know to use Google and all of their products even more than I do now. B E CK = I N S A N E.

people just want to dismiss stuff because Beck said it, without even bothering to check it out. whatever. I was just adding a comment.

How have those inner city, 90%-plus Democratic-supported districts been doing for the past 50 YEARS? – Did Democratic policies for a half-Century make these neighborhoods a lot better, or a lot worse?

@ Reasonable, is a good example of the “default thought” of Liberals, when it comes to Beck.

Beck says, “We should be concerned about Google’s activities.” Now, normally the left loves the idea of watching powerful corporations… but, since Beck said it, folks like Reasonable just assume they’re against it. They rant and rave in favor of Google, but for no other reason than they believe they have to ALWAYS oppose Beck.

The left was against Microsoft for a long LONG time… and their arguments then, are the same that could be applied to Google. That is, if someone other than Beck had made the initial comment. Instead, default thought says, “I don’t like Beck, so he must be wrong,” and the opinion is made… devoid of logic, relevance, and evidence.

To the angry left, if Beck says “the sky is blue,” their response isn’t, “I don’t trust you, I’ll go check.” Instead, the response is, “No it’s not, you’re stupid!”

It’s default thought… but really because it requires no thought at all.

INB is a good example of right-wing hypocrisy and thought. He consistently wants to demonize “the left” as if all liberals operate under a single banner but neglects the problems of the right. A good example of this would be his statement that the left is behind dictators like Chavez while neglecting that the right is behind Mubarak. He excuses this by saying that Mubarak is an “enemy of my enemy” situation but neglects the tension of politics and stability in central and south america. Truly INB is not to be emulated, but he is the stereotypical conservative; operating extensively in hyperbole and frequently employing straw mans.

I don’t believe I “ALWAYS” have to oppose Beck, i agreed with Beck on the Joseph stack issue and prayed for him when he started losing his sight. I just think it’s laughable for a man with an audience of 3 million to go after the largest web industry in the world. With regards to Microsoft there is a difference between opposing a monopoly and going after a business on no basis.

How can anyone take this stupid, stupid man seriously? This is what happens when you are not college educated and genetic garbage. I am sure if a teabagger CEO had decided to support his cause, he would be calling them patriots. This is the logic of this pig and his retarded minions: those who promote progressive causes are evil and those who promote right wing causes are saints. Intellectual bankruptcy at its finest. What does the pig and his defends have to say about this?

I don’t think liberals are dancing in the street and kneeling at the altar of Sergei Brin. Like I said, I’d love to hear more about Google and their mission of, “Dont Be Evil.” Their net neutrality business with Verizon sounds pretty evil.

Liberals are, however, using this as an example of Beck being paranoid. Beck’s pieces on Google haven’t been about business practices. They’ve been claiming that Google has leftist tendencies and they desire to overthrow governments. The facts he provides are rather dubious. Yes, Google’s employee contributions are primarily to Democratic candidates and causes. Yes, their CEO stumped for Obama. There were also the two employees Beck was talking about last week. These facts, however, don’t make Google’s products all untrustworthy. Particularly the search engine. To me, it looks like Beck is discouraging Google’s use in an attempt to keep viewers tuned in only to him.

So, how many of you Beckerheads are going to stop using Google?

State your name, please. Let’s us make a list of confirmed idiots.

Of course you can filter information according to the source. You rightwingers do this ad hominem analysis ALL THE TIME when a liberal like Matthews or Maddow et al makes a point. Stop being hypocrites when we mock Becky. You want to question the messenger when it’s a liberal viewpoint being presented but you want to ignore the source/messenger and only want the message analyzed when it’s a conservative presenting it. Someone please call the waaaambulance. Have a more reasonable & credible person present the message and I/we will give it a fair listen or analysis.

I will continue using Google. Best search engine bar none. Find me something better and I will switch.

It amazes me how many post attach to articles about certain people. This is a non-story and we are already on 50 comments. If it was not Beck who said it there would not be more than 10 comments total. Anything and everything Beck, Palin, Anderson, Obermain or Limbaugh say is good for lots of drama.

The details actually matter when you make comparisons.

If you can point to a time when the left thought Microsoft was plotting to overthrow governments you might have a point. It’s true that people dismiss stuff because Beck said it. Beck has a long and familiar pattern of wacky conspiracy stunts like this. Remember the boy who cried wolf story? After a while the normal reaction is “Oh!, It’s him again” even if by chance he gets something right. Nobody should be expected to examine every claim made by a demonstrated bullshit artist.

You’re not answering the question yourself, idiot. For starters, a search engine itself can’t have a political bias. They’re not programmed that way. Are you familiar with the way they operate? I take it you aren’t. Ads are a different thing by the way. And even those can’t be biased, they’re still based on what YOU enter 90% of the time. I read your “proof” and it’s bullshit. For starters, their “proof” that it’s liberal is that an ad was pulled, an ad attacking another group which goes against the company’s policy. If you violate policy, a private company reserves the right to revoke your ads, period. Do you read these things yourself before you post them?

Are you referring to the employees because that’s something completely different. Your type always looks for bias in something. Conservapedia says that wikipedia, which has a standard of neutrality, is biased.

Although I’ll be a little more polite than Lib, I agree with what he’s saying. Google’s search results are a computer ran algorithm. That’s all. I’m wondering if you would post and elaborate on those two links you provided. I’d like to know what in those articles you are using to support your argument.

Again, no one here is claiming Google’s sainthood. I think what people, like myself, are trying to say is that Beck is selling paranoia. I think he is trying to convince people to stay on his message and avoid “doing their homework.” I’d be willing to bet many of his millions of viewers had no problem with using Google until recently.

Here is what your article links to:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1395994/posts
In this post, they do not deny that their ad was attacking a particular group, so I take it it was. They give no specifics on the “liberal” ad. Evidently said ad was not in violation of the policy as the other was. The “I’m feeling lucky” thing is utterly preposterous. It takes you to the first link on the list. That’s just like the numbers thing and the chicken guy recently. To try to use that to show liberal bias is stupid. Face it, it’s a stupid argument and you’re TRYING to find bias.
Furthermore, I could honestly care less about your respect as you could mine because just as you say nothing would change my mind the same can be said for you.

Website doesn’t make it false; that’s ad hominem. It’s the fallacies in it and the lack of support that make it false.

The argument being presented is that they are being programmed to omit coonservative results. That’s something entirely different. Omission is different from association. Omission goes against the basic programming and premise of a search engine.

I am beginning to think that Glenn Beck is mentally unstable, and needs professional help. He is sounding more and more like a John Bircher of the 1950s. This Google story would be incredibly laughable if it were not so sad. Ronald Reagan would be very afraid of Mr. Beck!

Baboon Beck Lie # 3

“They (Google) are not working hard enough on your privacy… Google street view cars downloaded e-mails , passwords and other information from private UNSECURED wireless networks all around America. Google apologized, but the FCC is believed to be investigating, but I don’t think they’re probably investigating too hard with all of their connections to the White House ”

Pure, unadulterated Baboon BS.

The Baboon Beck charges Google with some nefarious intent while its vehicles “sniffed” data from UNSECURED WiFi networks.

Obviously, whover set up those UNSECURED WiFi networks are not as paranoid yet as smart as the Baboon Beck.

From Politico, December 20, 2010.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1210/46641.html

“Google first alerted authorities and users that its Street View vehicles had inadvertently intercepted FRAGMENTS of data transmitted over unprotected Wi-Fi networks.”

But the Baboon has e-mails, passwords and other information coming out of his rear.

i just watched the clip – he said to look into it for yourselves. he said repeatedly he wasn’t calling for a boycott.

The take about boycotts would have been relevant had Beck ever called to boycott a company. He hasn’t.

Wait a minute. He doesn’t want to do business with Google because they were involved in the toppling of a foreign government?

Well luckily there were no toppled foreign goverments that American companies profited from.

Google, on the other hand, is a perfect organization, and the mere suggestion that anyone be concerned with their dealings… well, that clearly McCarthyism… and probably means you’re a Nazi.

It’s much better to attack Beck personally, than to consider what he has to say… ever.

What a poopy pants. Ya’ll have changed my mind.

At least they’re consistent. The typical responses from the usual suspects would likely be the same if the article were titled “Glenn Beck adopts a puppy.” It would take about three pages until they got the idea to start referring to his puppy adoption as if it were some kind of anti-cat conspiracy.

You sorry brainwashed fools.

Here is your homework for the night: Question Beck.

He also doesn’t want you to google his non-answer to what may or may not have happened back in 1990.

“And that’s all we’re hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we’re seeing on television are the scumbags — and again, it’s not all the people in New Orleans. Most of the people in New Orleans got out!” ~ Beck 9/9/05

I read this as people with money got out. Poor people who got left behind are scumbags. Is there any way to defend this?

“Day 8 since Henny Glenny was struck by an overwhelming feeling that Egypt is the beginning of a growing evil that is going to spread a global Muslim caliphate and with the help of the communists and progressives create a New World Order ending our way of life as we know it.”

Who are you relying on for your information to take this tone on what Glenn has said? Washington? Our Media? Obama? You might want to reconsider or at least “Don’t take their word for it, do your own homework”

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4029879,00.html

WASHINGTON – A senate hearing Wednesday revealed that top US intelligence agencies are largely ignorant about the current situation in Egypt and unfamiliar with the agenda of the country’s radical Islamists.

“It’s hard to at this point to point to a specific agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood as a group,” National Intelligence Director James Clapper told senators. When asked about the group’s attitude to Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel, he said this was a difficult question before assessing “they are not in favor of the treaty.”

Intelligence officials also conceded in the hearing that they did not pay enough attention to social media networks, and that they were not closely monitoring Tunisia, where the wave of ongoing regional unrest started.

This does not comfort me enough to turn around and then mock Beck.

Some guy with a viewership somewhat short of a million in the demo doesn’t have that kind of pull.

No those sites don’t constitute proof. Google responded to some complaints and dropped some sites from Google news. One site complains without offering any proof and then suggests the solution of using strictly conservative search engines. Doesn’t sound like folks will get a balanced view that way.

I know from using Google daily that plenty of conservative sites come up when I’m doing any research.

It’s a money making game to Glenn Beck. Google isn’t his enemy, its a pawn.

The more he keeps his viewers scared the more he has to make.

Just take notice of the Internet Empire he is building. Take his “university” as just another form of his propaganda machine. TheBlaze is just another form of his manipulation. Every TV show he does scares the shit out of his viewers and that means more money in his pocket.

I don’t like big government either and I know their number one interest is for big corporations and I would like that to end. The thing is, Glenn Beck isn’t speaking truth to power, he is nothing more than a charlatan exploiting angry frustrated American people to make his wallet fatter.

Perhaps any of you can provide a few links to any of the instances when Google has LEAKED any information from their users, as he insinuates in his paranoid rant?

Sadly, I haven’t changed. You’ve become even less “reasonable.”

Which one of us started using ad hominem attacks? Not I.

But as I said, that’s the effect of Beck. You just hate him so much, it distorts your reality. I have no idea if he’s right or wrong about Google… but I’m atleast willing to listen to him. You, on the other hand, much like the nastiest posters around here, are unwilling to consider any theory other than, “Beck is a fool.” That conclusion rules your opinion of him… I’m not sure how you can seriously deny that.

You might want to try using context instead of copying and pasting from MediaMatters. Glenn was referring to the people shooting at the helicopters and looting the stores. He was talking about the people in New Orleans soaking up the spotlight while the victims in the other 2 states Katrina hit happily put their lives back together and didn’t play the blame game. Next time try using some independent thought instead of lapping up whatever Soros spoon-feeds you.

@ Bovine

Actually, I don’t put much stock in “the demo.” It’s old logic.

Although, I do remember a small portion of time where KO was closing in on O’Reilly’s demo numbers. Apparently in that case, the left decided the demo was important and a sign of huge success. But I guess that was “different.”

You couldn’t help yourself, uh?

You had to bring up Keith Olbermann to try do deflect away from the Baboon.

Carry on.

@ Bovine

Actually, I brought up KO because you brought up ratings and the demo. And KO wasn’t really the point, rather his fan’s hypocritical support of rating… but only when it suits their needs.

I think that was obvious if you read my response. But you didn’t, did you? Be honest…

The reason why I mentioned the “demo” is because you-know-who and his devotees flap-flap-flap daily with it.

I would hope within the 2M+/- Beckerheads, there has to be at least ONE who could e-mail the Baboon to help him with his homework and stop him from further embarrassment.

We are on the other side. The Baboon didn’t have to tell us to “do our homework.” We have done it and the Baboon FAILS.

Want to help him? Show us those e-mails and passwords COLLECTED by Google and proof of how the White House “don’t want too investigate too hard due to Google’s connections”

That statement is not true. There were plenty of images on television of non-criminals who were unable to escape. Was everyone in the SuperDome a scumbag?

If I may break down your arguements succinctly…
1) Beck disseminates information with which I disagree.
2) Beck is expanding his brand.
3) Beck makes money at his job and that’s bad.

Now I could go into each point in detail, but to do so would be overly pedantic. The critical one is the first and it’s that which colors those that follow.

@ManfromNowhere
Here’s the whole transcript from Media Matters:

But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn’t think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims. These guys — you know it’s really sad. We’re not hearing anything about Mississippi. We’re not hearing anything about Alabama. We’re hearing about the victims in New Orleans. This is a 90,000-square-mile disaster site, New Orleans is 181 square miles. A hundred and — 0.2 percent of the disaster area is New Orleans! And that’s all we’re hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we’re seeing on television are the scumbags — and again, it’s not all the people in New Orleans. Most of the people in New Orleans got out! It’s just a small percentage of those who were left in New Orleans, or who decided to stay in New Orleans, and they’re getting all the attention. It’s exactly like the 9-11 victims’ families. There’s about 10 of them that are spoiling it for everybody.

I don’t see how this can be defended. I don’t see how the statement that everyone left in New Orleans is a scumbag is ever appropriate. Sure, there were plenty of creeps left in the city who stayed to take advantage. Was everyone?

Again, I know MediaMatters has a bias. So does Fox and the Washington Times. So does Daily Kos. The thing is I don’t swear loyalty to a “side.” I know these biased sources are not ALWAYS wrong. Glenn Beck is not always wrong. In this case, however, I think MediaMatters is correct. Glenn Beck is talking like an insensitive jerk.

Beck’s not calling for a boycott because when he suggested boycotting Random House in support of Sarah Palin, it didn’t work out and he failed to follow through. Perhaps it was because both O’Reilly and Ailes’ books were published by a Random House imprint or maybe he lost interest for some other reason and of course, if he were to boycott Google, he’d have to pull the Google Ads from both GlennBeck.com and “The Blaze” and stop using Google Analytics because not only do they benefit Google, but it’s part of the way they track.

He’d also have to install a robots.txt file instructing Google’s spider not to crawl his sites and the information he disseminates would stop being added to Google search, but Murdoch’s been making noises about fencing-off Google for years and because of the potential loss in traffic, he’s yet to remove any US sites.

By the way for those that don’t know, Google Ads and Google Analytics would be removed by opening the sourcefile for his site template and deleting a few lines of text; To install a robots.txt, you’d add a line to the source and upload another. Perhaps Mr. Beck doesn’t have the know-how to achieve either goal, but his tech person could do it in just a few minutes.

Of course replacing the lost income and the traffic would take longer, but at least the income could be a possibility.and I assume the lost traffic is something with which he’s willing to live.

One more, then I’ll shut-up…

I’ll also ad for those who don’t know, Google also owns DoubleClick. So if they were to remove the Adsense boxes from both sites (those prominently and contractually labeled “Google”), they’d also have to remove the display ads because they’re being served by DoubleClick.

Okay, one more…

Google doesn’t make a dime from people doing searches and all their money comes from those who click the ads. Of course, Glenn could tell you to run the searches, but not click on the ads, but because at least “The Blaze” is entirely ad-supported, he’d be costing himself money.

Oh, and there are competing display ad companies, though they may not have as deep of inventory and I’m sure some sponsors are paying extra per-click to appear on Beck’s site, so it could disrupt their campaigns for an hour or two. Not to mention that Yahoo! offers one of those Adsense-like boxes, but I can’t swear about Microsoft because it’s been at least a year since I’ve logged into their ad site.

lawd. “Rumour has it the 12th *IMAM* has risen from the *WELL* and ‘google’ is letting him MONITOR beck’s search *HISTORY*”. rock and roll. :)

@ Magister

Awwwwwwh, C’mon! Sometimes you are just TOO much!

You should have let the mini Baboons do their homework.

Anyway, I really look forward to today’s comments from the Baboon. I wonder if he will also recommend his flock to stay away from YouTube.

As always, I will defer to Magister on most things “journo-techy”.

As an IT guy, doing straight network stuff, how do Glen Beck’s research assistants get their information daily?

I’m not able to access Lexus/Nexus…hehehe, but you have to prepare for a presentation based on salient points that can be proved. I would assume that the producers of a show, even live, are aware of the ramifications of multiple lawsuits.

I can almost guarantee you that Beck’s research assistants are using search engines, including Google, to get his salient talking points.

Magister said:
One more, then I’ll shut-up…

Nah, you bring a good perspective to these boards.

As a network geek, in a different manner, I personally appreciate your take on how technology is used.

@lazzzlo: As long as the research assistants don’t click any ads, they are costing Google bandwidth and infrastructure, but aren’t adding to the bottom line of the corporation.

Oh, and I just read his tips on bypassing Google. I’m not sure who put them together and it appears none of the commenters have noticed clearly marked “Ads by Google” click-based box off to the side, but the tips are entirely focused on using alternative free services and don’t mention the ads.

Google makes money from the ads and not the YouTube play, email reading or the search.
—

Note: I should clarify that my only personal experience with DoubleClick was through their affiliate marketing program which has been rebranded. I’m not sure how DoubleClick proper operates, but they are owned by Google and Beck may have simply licensed their ad management software to serve display ads on his site. After all, he does have an in-house sales force, but nonetheless, the “Ads by Google” (Adsense) boxes all work the same and Beck will only get paid for those ads, if you click.

Whoops! If I could edit, I’d rephrase the last line in my most recent comment to say that “Beck *and Google* will only get paid for those ads, if you click.”

Once again, one more because I can’t shut-up and it is somewhat related to Beck’s larger point;

As far as I can recall, the only times that I’ve ever commented about the reliance on Google on this website were to a couple of posts over the course of a week from Phillip, back in ’09.

The first that I’ll link resulted in a short comment from me in response to a wonderful post he put together about an effort to digitize historical photos of NYC, which the city was considering contracting with Google to do the work and the second, much longer comment that I cut and pasted from another site was in response to what was upcoming testimony before Congress, where an advocate was hoping to get the feds to finance the digitization of government-produced video for hosting on YouTube.

Both posts are worth revisiting, if you have the time and because they weren’t over-commented, my position on the questions aren’t hard to find.

The Baboon’s “suggestions” to reduce using the Giggles are not even his. They come from here:

Eliminate Google from your life
by Tom Merritt

Since my first post is still awaiting moderation, I’ll reiterate in short for:

It’s not really as nefarious as you think. Google uses what’s called a query processor that evaluates queries and then matches them to relevant content. PageRank is Google’s system for ranking web pages. A page with a higher PageRank is deemed more important and is more likely to be listed above a page with a lower PageRank. I search for Michele Bachman…I get bachman pictures at the top (because people want to look at her picture more than they want to read about her) and then the next option is bachman.house.gov.

Also, companies pay for higher ranking on google…that little yellow box you see at the top, that’s a paid position because it’s an advertisement. If I google “The Daily”…BAM..yellow box with an ad promoting The Daily on Apple. Anyone can pay for an advertisement on Google and get top ranking.

Keywords: every web site that gets higher listings on any search engine will have a set collection of keywords. In fact, there are interactive agencies that have dedicated teams who research the best keywords to make their clients get the best ranking.

Anyone remember when people would do mass searches for obscure things in order to trend it’s popularity? It works.

Finally:

I typed in “Tea Party” and got the following (not including the ad at the top that reads “Join The Tea Party”

Tea Party Patriots

Tea Party protests – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In this position were new articles about The Tea Party

Actually, doesn’t Google own YouTube now?

Absolutely, you can “page bomb”. Dan Savage proved that for Rick Santorum.

Jon Bershad, you need to stop pretending that Glenn Beck is anything other than a deceitful propagandist who puts Joseph Goebbels to shame and a demagogue misleading millions of gullible political novices.

Bershad, you want to practice RESPONSIBLE journalism: start calling out Beck’s absurd and deceitful nonsense. You can start by finding out how Beck manipulates his gullible followers.

What do you call the technique of reverse psychology when applied by a back-assward lunatic looking to avoid a lawsuit every time he speaks?

And there ya go, right there! Get back on here strong SHELL!
BFD is making you look impotent with his witty, spot on
analysis of O’Beckerhead! I think I got that right!
BTW, where is the BOMBSHELL?? Just askin’

i checked back, and noticed no one answered the questions. lots of people attacked him, but yet no one could point out things he said that were untrue.

Its impossible to fact check a nutcase, u cant argue wiyh insanity. Whats true in his world is irrelevant. His is only an opinion convoluted with half-truths and twisted logic. Thats why beck is so much fun to watch , hes a great entertainer, nothing more. Now go smoke some crack, the right is waiting.

The trolls on here mocking the 12th imam story are just proving how ignorant they are. It’s ironic, really – especially with the earlier discussion about stereotypical Beck-haters immediately attacking Beck in childish, spiteful ways, taking whatever side they imagine Beck opposes. Mocking that story isn’t a logical way to mock Beck. What you’re really doing is mocking a segment of Islam. As usual, you don’t think before you spew bile. The Real Royal King, et al: You don’t know a thing.

Seriously, what is wrong with you people? “The Baboon”? Do I even have to ask the question about what would happen if certain roles were reversed in who’s calling who what? You have no justification for your actions; nothing *could* justify such childish, vitriolic behavior. You are sick.

Moreoever, the entire premise of your comment, and the way you present it, are fundamentally flawed, and humorously ironic if one thinks about it (not that I’d assume your ilk would think about much of anything when Beck’s involved). You put “scare quotes” around “suggestions”… as if they’re… what? Not actually suggestions? That’s just stupid. Then you say they’re not really Beck’s… which Beck clearly spelled out already… so that’s hardly shocking or some sort of gotcha. More interesting, though, and here’s where some more irony comes in: They’re from CNET. Are they crazy conspiracy nuts, too, then? They’re the ones who made the video to help you get away from Google! Come out and condemn those crazy nutjobs at CNET already, if you feel so strongly about it!

Really, do you do anything right? Your ilk are just sick in the head, honestly – and by “your ilk,” I don’t mean “all people who disagree with me politically” – it’s just the sick-minded hatemongerers like you.

I hear Beck likes ice cream, well I guess its sorbet from now on. They say it’s healthier for you.
Sometimes you just have to say I don’t like this person can’t always put your finger on why just a gut feeling. Can’t argue that can you?

Glenn, remember, shiny side out on that tinfoil hat.

The Baboon repeated his ignorant rants again.

Something along the lines of “if I walk down the street with my iPhone I can get the information on your network. That is what Google did”

YES! YES! YES! MORON! Off UNSECURED WiFi networks you stupid sht!

That seems to be for an entirely different reason than what Beck is claiming.

Sometimes Beck’s claims are hard to disprove. I saw this show and realized that it’s going to be tough to contact Wael Ghonim and Jared Cohen at Google. Thing is Sara, Beck lies so routinely, makes things up out of whole cloth so often and expresses profoundly ignorant ideas as a matter of course, it is much more safe to doubt EVERYTHING Beck claims that to believe ANYTHING Beck discusses.

See how Beck manipulates his audience Sara: it’s eye-opening:

Sara, I Googled (screw BEck) Cohen and found this. It seems to confirm that he is indeed trying to foment democracies in the Middle East:http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/09/07/jared_cohen

Oh my god, get out the pitchforks and torches. Thing here that you, Sara, and the rest of the small, small minority of Beck’s millions of gullible followers need to understand is that Beck was FOR democracy in the Middle East so long as we were forcing it upon them at the point of guns and the drop of bombs. Now that Obama is allowing this to unfold without sending in the troops, he is shouting his fear, Beck’s profoundly ignorant and hypocritical fear about democracy in the Middle East and a Caliphate in India! In India! Can you stop pretending that Beck is worldly or knowledgeable in the slightest? He’s a freaking high school graduate and a morning zoo DJ for Christ sake! He’s a charlatan, not a pundit by any stretch of the imagination.

Beck is SUCH a hypocrite about so many principles, only ethically challenged and gullible people follow this buffoon.

americanborn says:

You’re wrong on both counts; Beck is easy to fact check. Writing exposes is time consuming, but getting to the facts of a matter is easy. See the link to the story about Cohen above as an example of checking out Beck’s claims about him.

Also, Beck is not insane, not by any stretch of the imagination. On the contrary, he’s a clever and sophisticated propagandist:
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2011/02/why-glenn-beck-isnt-crazy-and-millions.html

well, he mentioned it again. . .the Tides Foundation. . .i wondered if that’d show up.

he pretty well mentioned all the usual suspects. i expected the Knights Templar or the Illuninati (Hassan i Sabbah’s, not Adam Weishaupt’s) in there somewhere.

if you’ve used anything but cold, hard cash for at least the past 11 years, your personal info’s already been collected. and sold and disseminated, most likely.

lots of internet sites have been collecting personal information (and, in some cases, selling it) for years now, Facebook being the preeminent example.

if this was happening under a Republican administration, you’d never hear a peep out of the Beckerwood. he’d be all for it, because it’s for ‘your safety’.

usual conspiracy theory theatrics.

Glenn Beck is the personal front man for stupidity on a national scale in The United States of America. He is and always was a complete idiot. His personal form of patriotism is false and you’d have to be a brainless, half educated, red necked idiot to believe anything this fool says. But that pretty well describes the tea party and the GOP. This closet homosexual never went to college and never knew anything about World History, American History, World Religions or the US Constitution. He is simply a mocking bird for the twisted views of the John Birch Society and people need to wake up to the fact that Glenn Beck is just another uneducated charlatan who does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity. He is definitely not a conservative. In short, he is just another opinion pusher which is why he blends in so well with the bigots on Fox News Network. This self important racist climbed in bed with Satan a very long time ago as lies, half truths, fear and hate are his only products that he has for sale and he is making big money off of impressionable fools who love being told what to think. Glenn Beck is simply a product of mormon cult theology that he mixes with cherry picked parts of Catholicism, New Age Religions and his personal core as a washed up, dry alcoholic. This makes Glenn Beck one very screwed up moron who sold his soul to the lowest common denominator of personal stupidity. And for the record…the religion of Islam has far more in common with Christianity than the mormon cult. Beck consistently demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD, indecisiveness and blindness to truth. In short, Beck, Limbaugh, O Reilly, Hannity, Palin, O Donnell, Coulter and others like them who think they are conservative are all guilty of perverting truth, history, facts, religion and the US Constitution when they open their big mouths. They are all idiots who live in and speak to some alternate universe of stupid red necks that feed off of fear & hate mongering and love being fed a steady dose of extreme right wing lies. It is a breath of fresh air to finally see studies proving that Fox news viewers really are the most gullible and misinformed people on the planet.
