Leaked audio: Google colludes with conservatives

When New York magazine called for the break up of Google, two think tanks which are funded by Google quickly wrote a blog posts regarding the New York magazine article rebutting the New York magazine article.

Leak audio shows a top Google executive bragging about this convenient relationship.


“Just to give you an example, last weekend the New York Times magazine[‘s] cover story was all about breaking up Google,” Kovacevich said. “Among the people who wrote op-eds and blog posts rebutting that Times piece were two conservative think-tank officials who we work with closely — one from the American Enterprise Institute and one from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, who both attended [the reception].”
