The article about Google’s bias doesn’t say what proportion of the news sources are rated as left-leaning in the first place. Could be that 62.4% of them are rated left-leaning, which would mean that Google’s newsfeed is neutral. It also could be that more left-leaning people forward news articles, and that’s the source of the bias. I don’t have access to the Science article that might give more detail on the proportion of news outlets rated as left and right leaning. Seems a little simplistic to call this a 2-to-1 bias without knowing more.

I can see why one might think it is Plato/Socrates, but I think it is Thomas Jefferson?

In reply to Paul G.

I’m in trouble, everybody is saying Plato, so many I feel they must be right… but that’s not who I had in mind when I posted this quote.

Let me check into it, maybe my source got it from Plato….

The source of the quote for Weekly Axis Of Easy #98 is Socrates (as recorded by Plato).

Phrase of the week: I’ll have to say Socrates, probably quoted by Plato.
