The train station is not algorithmically deciding what to show you. The station has brokered a business agreement with the newspapers in the newsstand. I am unaware of any deal Google has with CNN to make sure a percentage of their articles show up in search engine results.

What is stopping this from happening? What is stopping Google bombs?

What is preventing us from being smarter? From going out and educating ourselves? Thinking more deeply? Finding the truth? Introspecting?

Where do we get our thoughts from? Who guides our behavior?

There is a struggle going on right now to regain control of the human mind.

It used to be just a few major news/media outlets. Now it's the entire world.

Someone has to be in charge of the information we are given. Else chaos will consume us all.

No one is in charge any more. We have to fix that. People must be told what to think again. They are thinking too many different things to predict the future anymore and that is disconcerting to those in the old power structures.

....what do you think a business agreement has in it to describe the costs and revenue sharing?
