Google Responds On Skewed Holocaust Search Results (bbc.com)

Google says it is "thinking deeply" about ways to improve search, after criticism over how some results -- including ones discussing the Holocaust -- were ranked. From a report on BBC: Searching for "did the Holocaust happen?" returned a top result that claimed it did not, as Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr reported. Now, the ranking has changed for US users. The page -- from white supremacist site Stormfront -- remains top in the UK. "This is a really challenging problem, and something we're thinking deeply about in terms of how we can do a better job," said a Google spokesman. "Search is a reflection of the content that exists on the web. The fact that hate sites may appear in search results in no way means that Google endorses these views."

Questioning what?

Do you mean questioning the Holocaust?

Or questioning Google's ranking issues?

If you mean the former, then yes, it's a very, very strong indication that you are a neo-nazi, because only neo-nazis make any sort of point of questioning something so abundantly, exhaustively and tragically well documented.

If you mean the latter, then no, it doesn't make you a neo-nazi. But if you believe Stormfront is correctly ranked in these results, that might.
