Google "news"
Another reason people are tuning out the media.
Look at the headlines on Google News:
Trump-migrants (ie illegal aliens)
Trump-Greenland
Trump-recession
Deficit (surprised Trump isn't in the title)
Trump-NRA
Parkland student gun control
Trump-Scaramucci
Bernie wants more unions
Man with Nazi paraphenalia and guns arrested
Trump war on women
Its all agenda driven. Much of it is nonsense (Trump's "war" on women). And little of it is relevant to anyone who isn't a political junkie. Google also heavily promotes the leftist media (which admittedly is the vast majority of the media). Lead story in each of above-CNN, BBC, Vox, Fake News York Times, WaPo, CBS, Vox, Fox, Independent, Daily Beast.
Would the conservative equivalent of Vox or Daily Beast or Slate ever get top billing? Of course not.

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki.
"We have a responsibility to deliver the news.." WTF? No, you don't -- you lunatic. You aren't a news company.
You are a neutral platform. Neutral platforms don't have any responsibilities, other than to provide a platform for (legal) content. If you no longer wish to be in the business of being a platform, shut Youtube (and Google) down and be done with it. You don't just get to change the laws as you see fit.

RE: Google "news"
This is Hasan Piker of the Young Turks. He is Cenk Uyger's nephew. Here he is saying that America deserved 9/11, and that the terrorist that injured Dan Crenshaw was a "brave soldier".
The Young Turks have an exclusive partnership (as a so-called "authoritative source') with Google and their streaming service Youtube TV.
It's all such a joke.

I feel that you're right but I don't think Crenshaw would stoop down to their level. But I would love for any of those idiots to lay a hand on him making it justifiable for Crenshaw to protect himself. But, they would only holler at his face like some of the antifas do with big strong guys they don't really want to tangle with.

Watching that Turks video montage on election night is one of the funniest things I saw from the post election coverage
