2. Bullshit
The quotation marks ("") they used in their search is unnecessary and limits the results. This query method is useful only when searching for an exact phrase.

5. Been reading this forum for quite a while
and, I haven't seen anyone state that Alex Jones has the "gospel message" for 9/11 truth seekers. I have seen a few posters refer to his predictions of 9/11 months before it happened.

Don't know where you got this idea, but, it sure isn't from this forum.

8. A backgrounder is in order here
Edited on Fri Mar-24-06 04:15 PM by slaveplanet
Update: Google has today started carrying Prison Planet.com as a news affiliate. Was their apparant censorship just a spidering error and are they are trying to make up for it? No one promotes Google more than us as they are clearly the best search engine company but their actions still call for us to be watchdogs.


AJ was on the radio thursday, talking about how CNN picked up the Sheen story. He was talking about how every other news outlet that he tried to alert, slammed the phone in his ear, and were trying to ignor the story. While pushing the Carlos Santana story. Yet he said it was one of the top 10 in Alexa ratings, 100's of Yahoo hits, exploding everywhere on the net. Yet on Google WEB there was nothing, nada. Google WEB only, not Google NEWS.


And if you really feel that way then why disguise the interviewers name?... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x77617

then call it a rational discussion? :wtf:

9. It's bullshit because they put fucking quotes around the search.
Complete BULLSHIT.

And I said the discussion was SURPRISINGLY rational. Which it was. Got it?

11. It works with the quotes now
Edited on Fri Mar-24-06 07:56 PM by slaveplanet
The quotes angle is BULLSHIT

Results 1 - 10 of about 14,400 for "Actor Charlie sheen questions official 9/11 story". (0.18 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 73,300 for Actor Charlie sheen questions official 9/11 story. (0.18 seconds


The search was an advanced search for a specific headline (BEFORE) they brought the google problem to light on the air.

The "problem" was corrected by google.

The Sheen story had already been up and the source is a google affiliate.

only after they illustrated the problem on-air
was it accessible with quotes.

They have a team that uses google hundreds of times per day since google came into existence. They know how to use google.

If you actually listened to his Thursday show , he explained it a lot better then I can.

They did not just make it up, for the sake of making up a story.

This is NOT the first time they've caught google doing this.

12. Whatever. I put it in with quotes last night & got zero hits, then
put it in without quotes and got 68,000, with all on the first three pages referring to the story.

In any case, the BEFORE and AFTER google search illustrations were not equivalent, so the article proved NOTHING.

Which was the original complaint Jones had on air in the first place.

problem is Paul Joseph Watson wrote the stupid article and he's in England, and for some reason did a poor job of explaining things.

7. How disinfo works. A wonderfull example.
This thread "MrSammo1 Google Caught Censoring Charlie Sheen 9/11 Story "

is a great example. So quickly launched, perfect in the details, no typos, a nice photo at hand and so on.

If a reader gets the information that "" in a google-search means LESS hits than single words he will sigh and say: no censorship around - but these conspiracy theorists are hypocritics, disinforming and so on.

Disinfo is published systematically in this forum. It is ten times better than to gag critics. Just mix the informations and questions with a huge portion of bullshit and the whole movement is discredited.

In my view it is the same with "controlled demolition". It is so simple to show that the "pancake-theory" explains all the alleged "questions", it is so simple to show where the "controlled demolition" theory leads to ...

red herings everywhere.

10. Yep. And this one is so fucking red that it's not even funny.
They whip up attention with one hand while COMPLETELY discrediting their journalistic credentials with the other.
