Pool: Media 'doubling down' to protect Google, 'big tech'

Independent journalist Tim Pool — one of the figures named during Project Veritas’ undercover video on politically biased moves at Google — says media outlets are largely A.W.O.L. from a “watershed” moment for the industry.

Exposés on Pinterest and Google this month by James O’Keefe’s whistle-blower website came to a political tipping point on Monday when his video on Jen Gennai, head of Google’s Responsible Innovation team, went viral on YouTube — only to be torpedoed at roughly 1 million views.

Mr. Pool told his 528,000 subscribers on Tuesday that only a select few outlets are covering what amounts to “technocratic authoritarianism.”

“One of the things that worries me greatly,” he said said. “Do a search for news articles about this. You’ll find The Washington Times. You’ll find conservative outlets. Will you find The New York Times? Will you find Vox or Buzzfeed? At least for now, the answer is no. I haven’t found any of them to be reporting on this.”

The journalist’s commentary came in conjunction with a new revelation from Project Veritas: clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson was called a “Nazi” by a Google employee in an email, along with conservatives Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager.
