Fox News commentator Glenn Beck is accusing Google of being “in bed” with the government.
Beck is encouraging people to investigate hypothetical ties between the government and the media, Beck said: “May I recommend if you’re doing your own homework, don’t do a Google search. It seems to me that Google is pretty deeply in bed with the government.”
Beck bases his accusation on the antagonism between Google and foreign countries, referring to the Chinese authorities who threatened to revoke the company’s license to operate there last year.
He also outed Jared Cohen, a Google executive who previously worked for the State Department.
“Who is Jared Cohen? Is he a private citizen or government operative? And isn’t this the second Google guy we’ve found?” he said.
Cohen was in Egypt during the protests there this year however there is no evidence he is a “government operative”.

Seriously, does anyone believe that buffoon anymore? Other than the Tea-Party neo-cons, that is.

It's safer to be in bed with Obama than with Osama. I really mean that it's good to have the government on your side rather than against you.

Nobody believes you. You're an idiot. Beck always tells his audience to go verify what he says on their own. Something you never hear from the MSM. "Neo-cons" ROFL!, what a dork.
