If You Only News has the article Fox News In A Panic: Google Researches Ranking Websites By Accuracy Of Facts (VIDEO).
Imagine an Internet search engine that shows you top results not based on how many links to it there are, not how many hits it has, but how accurate its facts are. A search engine like that would certainly not benefit organizations like Foxnews.com or dozens of others who refuse to post the truth.
Now imagine that search engine is Google, the choice of nearly 70 percent of all searches in America.
Unfortunately for Fox “News,” Google just may be developing that very system.
The last link in the above excerpt takes you to The Daily Mail article Google to rank search results based on accuracy of web pages.
The video in the original article credited to Media Matters is from the article Merchant Of Doubt Marc Morano Deeply Concerned Google Won’t Promote His Website’s Climate Denial.
It is somewhat amusing how the three articles focus on three different aspects of the story. It is also quite amusing how little self-awareness that Faux Noise has. The video clip is pure comedy. Jon Stewart of the Daily show could just play the clip without any commentary.
It may be difficult to determine what the absolute truth is, but it would be a truly sad commentary if there no objective way to judge the truth of anything at all. Admittedly there are many examples of things we thought for sure were true that later we find were not true. However, it would be utterly disturbing to find that the case for everything we have ever thought was true.
One of the three headlines shown above is about what is truly news. I wonder if the readers of this blog post can even agree on which one that is.
