Gore, Google and MoveOn

John Gibson has an interesting take on the intersection of Al Gore, Google and Moveon.org.

While I don't have the specifics of why a Republican Senator's anti-Moveon ad was denied by Google, it's quite well known which way Google swings on the political spectrum. (Ever notice why leftwing blogs are typically ahead of conservative blogs in terms of priority on web searches?)

Yes, it's a public company and subject to a (somewhat) independent Board (which includes Al Gore), but its executives have also made no secret of their liberal leanings.
