"Glenn Beck vs. Google: Pundit doesn't trust search engine, suggests his fans may want to avoid it"

"Unlike billions of worldwide users, Glenn Beck doesn't trust Google. And he plans on doing something about it.



The conservative Fox News pundit announced on his show Wednesday that he will avoid using any Google products, and implored his viewers to follow suit.



Beck spent a good portion of his program outlining why Google's business ties should make people think twice about using the world's most popular search engine – and it's many other products.



"I'm just not sure, as I look into Google, that I want to use their products anymore unless I have to," Beck said. "And some of their products I think I have to. I'm not leading any boycott. I hate boycotts. You do with your time, your money, and your information what you want. For me, personally, I'm not feeling real comfortable about the current direction of Google the more I find out."



Beck has been very critical of Google in recent weeks, mostly stemming from the praise company executives have heaped on one of their employees, Wael Ghonim. The head of Middle East marketing for the technology giant, Ghonim played a big role in helping organize the Egyptian Revolution and the eventual ouster of President Hosni Mubarak by setting up protests through social networking sites.

"Glenn Beck Says Google is a Front for the U.S. Government"

"On Monday, Tea Party darling Glenn Beck accused Google of being "in bed" with the U.S. government. The self-styled revealer of history's secrets went even further, insinuating that the company doesn't just cooperate with our oppressive socialist regime, but that it acts as a front for The Government, promoting American interests overseas. Beck warned viewers not to rely on Google searches for their information, asking them instead, "Are you comfortable with the government partnering covertly with media organizations, search engines, social networking, so they can bring change that the Washington elites have design?"



There's no denying that Google and the U.S. share some goals in common. Google is a firm believer in freedom of information, democracy and a vocal proponent of human rights. The two might even work together from time to time in an attempt to achieve these goals. But to suggest that Google is lying to you via search results and that it's part of a "propaganda" arm of the government is patently ridiculous. "
