Glenn Beck Attacks Google

Here's a very revealing (and deliberately paranoid) rant against Google by professional actor Glenn Beck:

Who are they? Are they right? Are they left? Are they clean? Are they dirty? Are they front groups? I don't know. May I recommend if you're doing your own homework, don't do a Google search. It seems to me that Google is pretty deeply in bed with the government. Remember, maybe this is explaining why Google is being kicked out of all the other countries. Are they just a shill now for the United States government? Who is Jared Cohen? Is he a private citizen or government operative? And isn't this the second Google guy we've found? This is the second Google executive now being exposed as an instigator of a revolution.

Okay, see what he's doing? By demonizing Google, he's giving his audience fuel to question anyone who uses Google to find information that debunks Beck's ridiculous conspiracy theories. You know, just like the "liberal media" attack. So if I Google "U.S. Constitution" to prove a point to a wingnut, obviously my information -- even though it's direct and verbatim from the Constitution -- was attained via a suspicious resource.
