Obama Administration Pays Google and Bing To Direct "ObamaCare" Searches To Their Personal Spin Sites, And Guess Who Paid? George Soros
Wait Did I Say "George Soros?" I Meant You're Paying For This
Darrell Issa? Can we get with you on this?
In case you don't know, Google's revenue comes from selling advertising in the form of search-term priority. If you pay 'em, you get your link put at the tippy-top of a search-term list. Much of the order of a Google list of cites is figured by fair considerations like recency, relevancy, and number of links in turn linking to that link; but usually the top slots are bought and paid for. What's at the top of the list is there because someone's advertising budget paid to have it come up at the top of the list.
Obama is using your tax money to propagandize for his crap.
Politico's Ben Smith, in a post entitled "HHS Buys 'ObamaCare,'" quotes an official from Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), who confirms that this clear attempt to influence what Americans read about Obamacare does, indeed, represent your tax dollars at work: "'We are using a bunch of search term[s] to help point people to HealthCare.gov. [It's] [p]art of our online efforts to help get accurate information to people about the new law (i.e. [we] also use Facebook, Twitter, blogs and webcasts),' an HHS official confirmed by e-mail."
The "accurate information" that Americans will glean about the massive health care overhaul from this HHS website is of the same sort that President Obama has supplied all along -- such as that Obamacare would lower health costs (only 17 percent of Americans believe this), increase the quality of care (only 22 percent believe this), and reduce deficits (only 17 percent believe this).
