Google and Facebook? Trying to influence the elections!?!

Posted on June 25, 2019 by The Cynic

A Google insider who spoke anonymously to Project Veritas claims the company is devoted to preventing anything like the 2016 election of Donald Trump from happening again.

The insider who spoke to Project Veritas also drew attention to the covert suppression of non-progressive voices on YouTube, a Google-owned platform, said that stopping President Donald Trump and other politicians like Trump has become a priority for the tech giant.

…

Project Veritas also obtained undercover footage revealing yet another Google executive declaring the company’s intention to intervene in its products to stop Trump in 2020. “Responsible innovation” head Jen Gennai was recorded stating that Google shouldn’t be broken up because smaller companies couldn’t prevent “another Trump situation.”

Really, though, shouldn’t we be surprised if they didn’t?

Throw in Twitter and Instagram and now it seems believable — even though they all deny it.

Debate preview.

Looking forward to this week’s Democratic debates. It should be a contest to see which candidate can promise the most, to the most. It may become difficult to keep all of the promises and their corresponding promises straight.

It could become a bit frightening if promises start to cause candidates to increase in popularity — then there may be no end to them.

On those canceled ICE raids…

President Trump seems to be getting in the habit of threatening to take certain specific actions then pulling back.

One hopes that he doesn’t think this is an original idea — U.S. Drug czars have been declaring victory for over thirty years.

Addendum on Stephanopoulos interview.

Talk about bad optics:

Why would the President allow George Stephanopoulos — who stands about five-foot-nothing — to hover over him as he sits at his desk?

Whittaker Chambers’ attitude.

Whittaker Chambers was reported as commenting upon his defection to the West that he felt like he had left the winning side to join the losing side.

Shouldn’t the Republicans be feeling this way by now?

(BTW: Libertarians are born feeling this way.)

On the upcoming Stephanopoulos interview…

How many Republicans — how many Trumps supporters and advocates — were alarmed when they learned that the president agreed to a thirty-hour interview with George Stephanopoulos?

Remember, a gaffe by a Republican echoes in the canyons of the media indefinitely, whereas a gaffe by a Democrat whispers into the ether of empty space, never to be heard again.

If the president wants to ensure his defeat in 2020, he should continue to grant up-close-and-personal access to his adversaries in the mainstream media.

Stephen Jay Gould would be proud…

Biden just came out against the Hyde Amendment. It has been reported that his position has “evolved.”

As most people realize, evolution is typically defined as being “slow change over time.” Joe Biden just underwent punctuated equilibrium.
