I have to assume that my abilities to search the net are close to zero. I did notice that the Queen of Bile, Ms. Malkin, was having great fun denouncing Google for it's bowing to pressure from China. It does seem to deserve our condemnation.
What I could not find was her fury at Rupert Murdoch for his even more serious capitulation to the will of China. Former Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patton, had a contract with the publisher Harper Collins for a memoir about his experience there. In it, he wrote quite critically of the Chinese government. Murdoch, owner of Harper Collins, was in the process of trying to get a license from the Chinese government for his satellite network. The book was pulled. Nary a peep from the ever outraged Michelle.
I also couldn't find her condemnation of the Bush administration's attempts at stifling Google. Goggle has been subpoenaed to supply hundreds and hundreds of thousand of bits of information about what its customers are watching. It is resisting, but somehow I can't find Michelle's support.
I'm sure that Michelle has been way more honest and consistent than my limited search skills can determine. For that I apologize.
