Is Google Purging Conservative News Sites?

After reading this article, it sure seems as if Google is indeed purging conservative news sites!Their reasoning? Apparently, some news organizations are referring to radical Islam as an ideology of hate. Who could imagine that? So now, if a news organization refers to Islam and its followers as anything but nicey-nice statements, Google apparently gets complaints of "hate speech" and, therefore, removes the news organization from their news feed. Seems like this would only hit conservative news sites, doesn't it?

So, with that information, I am no longer going to use Google as a search engine. Do you need a recommendation? I've been recently using Bing and have liked the results. Bing is from Microsoft...I know, those folks! But, I haven't heard of any oppression of freedom of speech like what Google is doing, so I've changed all my default search engine toolbars to Bing--good bye Google. Have fun with your new Islamic buddies...yeah, just kidding.
