House Judiciary Committee, Seem To Have No Clue, When It Comes To The Search, Internet And Technology

At 1:05:00 Rep. Steve Chabot 

 I listened to the hearing for a while, specially wanted to know what Google has to say about the China syndrome it has recently acquired. After a while I had to give up, I was splaying coffee all over when I was not rolling on the floor.

House Judiciary Committee, showed not only the Americans but the whole world, that they have no idea how the Internet and associated technology worked. Here are two of them and the rest you can find on Mashable, link after the jump.

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert. The Republican Congressman was upset with the fact that Google shows Wikipedia in its search results. No sooner one could calm self and wipe the coffee from the table,  Gohmert proceeded to throw himself under the bus in a bizarre moment where he blamed the free online encyclopedia for removing edits his staff makes to his own Wikipedia page. Remember that this is being said at a hearing on political bias on the internet!

Rep. Steve Chabot brought us one of the most unfortunate self-owns of the hearing while discussing Google search and anti-conservative bias. Bringing up his own personal experience, Chabot questioned Pichai on why Google returned so much negative criticism on Republicans’ bill to repeal and replace Obamacare last year. Unaware of the implication that so many outlets reported on the bill in this way simply because, maybe, it was just bad, Chabot went on to bring up a similar experience with the GOP tax plan.
