  1. Quote: Trump has often criticized Google, recycling unfounded claims by conservatives that the search giant is biased against conservatives and suppresses their viewpoints, interferes with U.S. elections and prefers working with the Chinese military over the Pentagon.

    Unfounded? Well, the Associated Press is a function of the mainstream media.
    News Flash for them: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire….somewhere

  2. As I recall, the suit against Microsoft happened at a time that Microsoft was not “playing ball” with the political system; not contributing “sufficiently” to political campaigns.

    Here is the text from Google’s Transparency policy page (https://www.google.com/publicpolicy/transparency/).

    Political contributions
    To date, Google has chosen not to use corporate resources to make independent expenditures or fund electioneering communications in support of, or opposition to a federal, state or local candidate’s election. In the future, if Google makes any direct independent expenditures, we would disclose such expenditures on this website and public campaign disclosure reports.

    The message: if you want to be a corporate giant, you need to pay the political machine (right and left). This is also one of the (many) messages of “Citizen’s United”.

    I suspect Google will get the message and begin to contribute. When Microsoft did, the lawsuits disappeared.
