Google: No Bias In Dropping Anti-Clinton Ads
I don't know about this one folks. There has been an effort to shutdown this Hillary book blitz and it wouldn't be a stretch to see Google be a party to it.
According to World Ahead Publishing, Google removed an ad for author Candace Jackson's book "Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine,"
after originally approving the banner ads which displayed the book's cover or pictures of the Clintons. Some ads also included such statements as that of former White House volunteer Kathleen Willey, a victim of Clinton's sexual advances, who stated "The true nightmare Bill and Hillary put me through.""Google's decision to reverse its prior approval and shut down this banner ad campaign reeks of political bias," fumed author Jackson.
According to Eric Jackson, World Ahead Publishing's president, Google had approved the campaign and it was performing "very strongly," after it made its debut on May 31. Google yanked the ad campaign June 9, however.
Google's response, says World Ahead: the company's policies ban display ads that attack an individual.
A Google spokesman told DMnews.com that while some ads for "Their Lives" were rejected, others are still running on the company's network. He rejected the claim that the ads were accepted or rejected because of their political views.
"These decisions are based on our policies, not political views," Google spokesman Mike Mayzel told DMnews.com. "We have routinely accepted and rejected ads for materials that are for or against a wide variety of public views."
That's a huge load. When nutcase left wing organizations were out there calling Tom Delay the Devil himself, I really doubt Google was restraining them….
