Sorry, but who can take The Guardian, and by extension the NYT seriously while they are sitting on a bunch of the Snowden material? Whining about Google when you are withholding the stuff on privacy that really matters due to a lack of moral courage is weak-sauce...

And of course the right to be forgotten doesn't apply to the press - The guardian is a bad as the murdoc press in some ways.

They would always drag out Max Mosley's private life when writing about Formula One is one example.

Perhaps it is better to judge an article by its contents only.

I couldn't disagree more. All news sources editorialize. Knowing their slant and accounting for it is the only way to find truth in their writing.

Privacy is a much larger topic than Google. The point I am making is that it's a bit past disingenuous to hold forth on a topic when you are not an honest broker in the overall topic itself..

Find the down votes interesting though...heh...

A hypocrite can still be right.

I hear Mein Kampf is a really good read. Edit: Wow. Downvote flurry. What I mean is that to take an article without the context of author is ridiculous. Perhaps I was a little bit too snide.

Reductio ad Hitlerum is rarely a constructive addition to a debate.
