Congressional Ether: Rep Ted Lieu Shits On Steve King + GOP

[sharkbait28]

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu tears into Republican colleagues during Google hearing: 'If you want positive search results, do positive things'

Excerpt
But then Lieu pivoted — pulling out his smartphone for a search in real-time — and entered King's name into Google.

King, who was sitting across the room on the powerful House panel, became visibly perturbed.

"I'm going to change one word. So I'm going to search for 'Congressman Steve King,' I'm going to hit the 'news' tab. First article that pops up is from ABC News," Lieu said. "It says Steve King's racist immigration talk prompts calls for congressional censure. That's a negative article. But you don't have a group of people at Google thinking and trying to modify search results — every time Steve King comes up, a negative article appears, that's not what's happening, right?"

Pichai again said no, reiterating that Google does not manipulate results for individuals like that.

"So let me just conclude here by stating the obvious," Lieu responded. "If you want positive search results, do positive things. If you don't want negative search results, don't do negative things."

"And to some of my colleagues across the aisle, if you're getting bad press articles and bad search results, don't blame Google or Facebook or Twitter, consider blaming yourself," he added.

This was fire but were you trying to share a clip from this hearing? Looks like the one above is from another.

Unless you're just posting random Congressional ether

I always thought he was a better "attack dog" than Avenatti.
Avenatti is more about self promotion while Lieu has been ethering Trump and the GOP on twitter since 2016 and he's better at it.

Crazy that these old, tech illiterate fucks are in charge of technology legislation. Some of the question/answers were insanely retarded. Like, '90 year old calling tech support' retarded.

Trying to find clips of some of the sadder exchanges

It really is a war on the poor out here. So much so you even have the working poor waging this war for the 10%. Any idiot that calls Medicare and social security an entitlement is a fool who will have their day at the trough.

Look at this clueless motherfucker right here to stupid or blind to realize its on the 4th page because NOBODY wanted you to fuck with the ACA dumbass:

Steve Chabot, a Republican from Ohio, said he needed to go to the third or fourth page of search results to find positive coverage of the bill introduced last year to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

"You had to go deep into the search results," Chabot said. "I know Google's attitude, 'The algorithm made us do it,' but I don't know that I buy that.
