Sentient AM radio congressman Steve King is convinced that there is such bias in Google’s search engine that he asked for the name of 1000 employees so their social networks could be analyzed to tease out whether or not they were dirty libs.
Steve King, the same guy who voted to get rid of Net Neutrality has no problem regulating content companies while pounding the drum of deregulatotion of last mile telco providers.
