EXPOSED: Google's Go-To ‘Conservative' Influencer List Who Claim ‘Big Tech Bias Is a Good Thing'
[National Pulse] The National Pulse is today publishing a previously undisclosed "go to" list of "conservative" influencers that Big Tech firm Google uses to influence the political dynamics in Washington, D.C.

As the battle over Big Tech rages in Western capitals, The National Pulse was provided with an exclusive leak of the list of think tanks and activists who Google lobbyist Max Pappas reached out to on the back of the Federalist/Zero Hedge demonetization story.

Pappas – hired by Google in 2017 – took Google’s damage control messaging to nearly 100 influential figures on the right on Tuesday night.

The list (at the bottom of this article) includes key conservative influencers from major think tanks and publications – some of whom are believed to be beneficiaries of large Google donations.

The Heritage Foundation, the CATO Institute, Americans for Tax Reform, R Street, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and more were named. The National Pulse reached out to both Google and Max Pappas before publication, though neither responded to our queries.

#2 "When NBC published their background conversation with Google yesterday the media outlet made a big legal mistake. NBC outlined the mechanics of a racketeering and antitrust violation, via Google’s power to control on-line ad revenue as a weapon to target NBC’s competition"

#4 Not a good thing since it promotes the Dem Party over the Pub Party. This is censorship. There needs to be a fair playing field--not a stacked deck and players playing with a handicap. Just another example of Dem election-rigging.
