Google has cobbled together a response to an internal video leaked to Breitbart which depicts the company's top brass comforting each other as they mourn Hillary Clinton's 2016 election loss. For example:

In a late Wednesday statement, Google spokeswoman Riva Sciuto said "For 20 years, everyone at Google has been able to freely express their opinions at these meetings" (just not over email - like conservative former employee James Damore, who is currently suing Google for discrimination after he was fired for criticizing the company's diversity policies).

"Nothing was said at that meeting, or any other meeting, to suggest that any political bias ever influences the way we build or operate our products," Google's statement continues. "To the contrary, our products are built for everyone, and we design them with extraordinary care to be a trustworthy source of information for everyone, without regard to political viewpoint."

Except several examples suggest otherwise...

Searching Google images for the word "idiot" (still) displays pictures of Trump and his sons, while a leaked company email read on Monday night by Fox News's Tucker Carlson reveals that the company helped create ads and donated funds to a partisan Latino group which physically bussed voters to vote for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

Fired Google employee James Damore, was NOT a conservative.

He is a libertarian, possibly progressive that was assigned to do an internal study.

When the study proved serious liberal bias, he was fired without a reason.

Quiet, thoughtful, and worth listening to him, tell it his way.

Some consider hima member of IDW.

At least Google should be made to register as a PAC.

Maybe, but at least the google secret is out.

Their search engine is already so cumbersome, it's almost unuseable.  For example, ask Google how much caffeine is in a cup of coffee.  I tried and had to go and ask Alexa who gave a simple complete answer.

I enjoy googling politically charged topics - like 'white racism' vs 'black racism'. Good for a laugh.

I got one of those google things that look like a speaker from one of my kids..... After reading this article now I know why it is practically useless for anything but playing music....  The company is run by dumb asses.

This brings to mind Adam Smith, who asserted (in paraphrase) that,
" When Corporate types meet for merriment, it masks their true
  objective which is to devise a strategy to harm their foes,
  either real or imagined. "
The Google Goobers are exhibit A.

Since they are mostly from California, that is an oxymoron.
