I believe it is true. I ran (until I just sold it last month) a conservative web site called RightNation.US. Google considered it a "hate site" even though it's moderated to the hilt to be civil and we even though it's conservative, we welcomed liberals (except America hater types). So, they pulled by ads. I didn't make an issue of it since I didn't need the traffic and was just testing it out. On a side note, some library and school filters didn't allow it on the computers either, even though they let in one of the most hateful sites on the internet--democraticunderground.com where they basically wish Republicans dead and think Bush is worse than Hitler LOL! (and they are serious). What a wacky world. But aside from what Google did, I'm still investing in the company! The left gets weird in politics (Like screaming First Amendment all the time and then censoring conservative viewpoints) and I've learned to deal with that.
