Check in on the Google News page most anytime of day or night and you’ll find that the headlined news stories of the presidential campaign are primarily favorably oriented toward Obama and unfavorably oriented toward McCain and Palin.

Many of the news titles are innocuous enough, like “Obama hits McCain on healthcare”, but many other are much more aggressive and a lot of articles from TV and Left Wing publications attacking McCain/Palin are referenced, such as from CNN, the San Francisco Chronical, New York Times and The Huffington Post, all notoriously Obamanuts. At the same time, much of the Right Wing press is ignored.

This left-leaning presentation seems to shift back and forth some over the day, apparently depending on who’s managing the ever-changing content of Googles News Page. Strangely enough, this mornings Google offerings of news headlines is genuinely Centrist. I’d sent them an email pointing out their obvious Left-leaning reporting, and very possibly many others have done the same. Or, maybe this centrism is just a temporary slip on their part. Wait and see.

Googles founding motto is “Do no evil”. It would be good if they live up to it, especially considering that they have a virtual monopoly now as the primary Internet search engine. With all the slanted media reporting from both the Right and Left, having a search engine that sorts it out and cuts it down the middle for us is exactly what we need.

What we don’t need is one more media source, and a major one, jumping onto the Leftist bandwagon. Obamas campaign is pouring far more money into Internet advertising than McCains, and Googles income is from advertising. I don’t know if there’s a connection but I do know that I’ve been seeing a lot of pro-Obama and anti-McCain headlines listed on the Google News Page for quite awhile now.

Do no evil. Remember?
