I saw that video and it was the sorriest bunch of snowflakes I've ever see. They probably had to squeegee the floor to get rid of all the liberal tears.
this is great. The Left CONSTANTLY complains about big corporation influence in the elections but completely over the top favor big tech companies aiding their side anyway they can.
This is different than just having political views . They pretty much control the internet.
The typical right wing response to any concerns aired about the business practices of companies (cake bakers, internet providers, retail giants, or whatever) is "if you don't like it, don't buy their product".
I did not agree with that stance before, and I still don't. But if you said that to people who didn't support the cake bakers, or if you mocked people who were FOR net neutrality, then you don't get to change your view now, just because it fits your agenda.
I don't know (or care) if this applies to you personally, but it does apply to a lot of people. I am not happy about this, but they got what they asked for.
As for Google, they are entitled to their opinions, but I do agree they have a responsibility to be neutral, just based on the immense influence they can wield. I don't think they broke any laws, but I do think they could have done better. (Even if I share their views)
EDIT: I noticed the source is Brietbart. Isn't the GOP SOP to discredit anything, even if it's a video of something that happened, if it is communciated on a source you don't like. If the left were to follow that, this would be automatically fake news. That being said, I did not watch the whole thing, I "spot checked" it, but it seemed more to me like they were (understandably) concerned about the future of our country, and they were simply saying they would use their capability to make sure truth got out. What is so wrong with that? It has turned out now, almost two years later, that their concerns were valid. Trump has started to chip away at much of what makes America Great, like freedom of the press, free speech, peaceful transfer of power, civil rights, inclusion in the American Dream, and so much more.
While it may not be "a good look" for some, I am glad to see that there are still people in power who believe in America, and put country before their own personal gain. Maybe Trump could learn from that example.
I totally get why they're worried, they use a crap ton of H 1B visas. Notice they talk about it in the video. They are the epidemy of global. They want a free flow of workers from anywhere they choose in and out of the U.S. They choose a worldwide base, and don't generally hire locally. Of course, they favored Clinton, that's a no-brainer.
But, that doesn't mean that it's good for America. Truth is, they don't really care what's good for America, they care what's good for Google. America is pumping out college students that need a job, and we need companies here to hire them. Other countries have the same problem with Google as we do.
Yeah exactly . And who knows the backroom deals and promises that Clinton made to them behind closed doors . They seemed to be quite cozy .
The Clintons close relationship with Google goes back years and they would even use Google’s jet as well .

Not sure I've ever seen a sorrier pack of sniveling sad sacks in one place. If you didn't know it was genuine, you'd would have thought it to be a poor parody of some obscure social involvement group. Except they were working with a really poorly written script.
Truth be told...I didn't bother to watch the whole video. How much whining self-pity coming from a bunch of self-worshipping, preening self-appointed arbiters of socio-governmental policy can a normal person stand, anyhow?
Those "dorks" probably make 2-4x what you do. At least you have your laughter though.
There are many that make more than I, they can still be laughed at though. I lump these types into the "ra ra cheerleader" type of employee, something that seems to have become a big part of companies the past 15-20 years. To each their own though, I just have always found those types annoying and laughable.

Google has admitted the video is real. You can view it for yourself if you don't believe it. It speaks for itself. It also makes the rest of your argument moot.
You should be asking, why isn't CNN, WaPo, and the NYT covering it or uncovering it.
