      It's a whole lot harder to start a news station than it is to start a website.

      If Murdoch can do it in broadcasting then anybody can start an alternative on the world wide web!
      That's very true, man. Yeah, I think it can happen. So many seem to just accept defeat right off the bat with these giants but they can come down as well. Looking forward to it!

              Did anybody verify that was an actual employee of Google? Project Veritas is known for making fake/misleading videos. Matter of fact this is that The Blaze (the Twitter account that posted this video) had to say about project Veritas

              In 2011 Blaze, the rightwing outlet founded by Glenn Beck, investigated O’Keefe’s treatment of National Public Radio and concluded that the editing of a secretly filmed video seemed “designed to intentionally lie or mislead about the material being presented”.
              Even if that is an employee of Google, Project Veritas likes to get employees speaking who have no idea what they're talking about. This lady could be a janitor at Google for all we know. But technically that makes her a Google employee

              That is not so far removed from what O’Keefe has been trying to do ever since. His first post-inauguration target was CNN in June. In another dubiously edited video, Project Veritas captured a CNN producer who worked in the medical unit talking about the network’s coverage of Trump’s ties to Russia – a subject the producer had no direct knowledge of or involvement in.
              Project Veritas tried to set up the Washington Post and it backfired big time.


              A woman approached The Post with dramatic — and false — tale about Roy Moore. She appears to be part of undercover sting operation.

              A woman who falsely claimed to The Washington Post that Roy Moore, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, impregnated her as a teenager appears to work with an organization that uses deceptive tactics to secretly record conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.

              In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore's candidacy if she went public.

              The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

              But on Monday morning, Post reporters saw her walking into the New York offices of Project Veritas, an organization that targets the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups. The organization sets up undercover "stings" that involve using false cover stories and covert video recordings meant to expose what the group says is media bias.

              James O'Keefe, the Project Veritas founder who was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2010 for using a fake identity to enter a federal building during a previous sting, declined to answer questions about the woman outside the organization's offices on Monday morning shortly after the woman walked inside.

              "I am not doing an interview right now, so I'm not going to say a word," O'Keefe said.

              Do you think this is a good source Senator Cruz is using without verification?

              Secondly Cruz (and all the old people in government) have no idea how search algorithms & SEO works. It's embarrassing really. Even more embarrassing that people think this is good search algorithms work.

                The monopoly commission should deal with it.

                You really think there was nothing underhand going on.

                Would coke be allowed to buy out Pepsi and RC.

                What if this happened in the fast food chains?

                It not good for society, for the consumer for progress, for choice, for the free market, for democracy.

                There should be laws that companies cannot have over 25% of the market share, especially when buying other companies out to achieve that.

                These companies are using this power to affect politics and election results now.

                If the line is not drawn soon, you might not get another chance. It may already be too late.
                I think a closer look at laws would most likely solve this problem. There's probably collusion with government as there often is with corporations. The founding fathers were no fans of corporations and would not be happy with what they see. I remember reading that Jimmy Carter had some kind of law in his favor when it came to peaches or maybe soybeans in his native Georgia and because of it, his family dominated that market but only because of the law. IMO, that's what's really going on here but like I said, you'd probably need a business lawyer to sort through it all. We have way way too many laws and regulations that often benefit a few and crush others. In New York, I think it's a million dollars for a license to start a cab company. This destroys any hopes a person has of starting a cab company there. Laws like that crush business. I think this corporate thing unfortunately turns people to being pro-business(inviting in government help) instead of pro-market(keeping gov as much out of things as possible). Good discussion though, man.

                    The internet isn't a finite resource. This isn't like oil, or broadcast licences where there are only a few to go around. You can't monopolize the internet. As soon as Google buys one company a similar one will pop up the same day.

                      She is "the head of responsible innovation" at Google. Doesn't sound like a janitor. Ha.
