Glen Beck: do a search on Google

Glenn Edward Lee Beck, an American conservative radio and television host, author and political commentator, said its viewers not to use Google when doing research. He points to the fact that Google is having some problems abroad and that some of its employees have played active roles in revolutions in the Middle East.

Here's the relevant part of his rant: "I would highly recommend if you're doing your homework, do a search on Google. It seems to me that Google is pretty deeply embed with the Government. Remember ... maybe that explains why Google is being kicked out of all other countries. I'm just a shill for the Government of the United States? About Jared Cohen? He is a private citizen or Government operations? And this is not the second guy to Google we found ... This is the second Executive of Google now is exposed as an instigator of a revolution. Familiar with the Government secretly partnering with organizations to media, search engines, social networking, so that can bring change we have designed the elites in Washington? "You can watch the Beck do its thing below (found via Slashdot):

Jared Cohen is the Director of the ideas of Google. He worked with the Department of State and played a leading role in disorders 2009 in Iran. Another Executive that Beck refers is Google marketing manager and political activist Ghonim, Wael played an active role in the revolution in Egypt. He went missing for over a week during protests and later seceded from the security forces who kidnapped him.

Beck, clearly, has a very strong argument for not using Google; What he is proposing is actually quite ridiculous. However, it never hurts to question everything around you, even in the field of technology. Just don't be paranoid.
