Wow…looks like the PRC has reached all the way out to California and touched our friends over at Google.  Unfortunately in what sounds a bit like double talk, Debbie Host a google spokeswoman claims that..

"Google has decided that in order to create the best possible search experience for our mainland China users we will not include sites whose content is not accessible,"

Best possible search experience?!?!?!  What the hell is she talking about?  Oh…so because computers would be blocked from actually seeing the banned web sites, this serves the peoples best interests?  Come on Google…GET WITH THE PROGRAM.  You could have *tried* to spin it a bit better than that.

Only a "tiny fraction" of Web sites are being excluded by the Chinese news service, Frost said. Xia said his tests indicated Google is excluding Chinese results from at least eight sites, including www.epochtimes.com and www.voanews.com.

Go on Google…go on believing that you are working in the best interests of the people if that's what helps you sleep as night.
