Google is the White House puppet-master If control of the US government depends on the amount of access lobby groups have to the White House, then Google is the puppet-master. A project examining White House visitor logs shows the Obama administration has extended an open door to Google. Johanna Shelton, Google’s director of public policy has visited White House officials 128 times since President Barack Obama took office in 2009. In comparison senior lobbyists for other companies in the telecommunications and cable industry, Comcast, Facebook, Amazon, Oracle and Verizon, have visited the White House a combined 124 times during the same timespan. Google’s parent Alphabet spent $16.6 million lobbying in 2015. That was the twelfth most of any company, and the most by any technology firm. AT&T spend $16.4 million and Comcast’s $15.7 million. http://www.techeye.net/news/google-i...-puppet-master |
