2. Google's AdSense can't distinguish between a left wing ad and a right wing ad.
It simply pulls up ads according to certain keywords. I'm sure "freedom" is mentioned a lot here, so naturally you could see Freedom's Watch ads pop up.

3. Then maybe another Ad service should be used
Although I think Google has a lock on this market.

5. That's why I won't use Google's new browser.
Has the potential to be a great product, but if I can't keep ads - especially right wing garbage - off my screen, I'm not using it.

4. Because it pays the bills and
allows people to come here and ask why those ads are allowed.

7. google places ads according to what words are on a page. Not a conspiracy.
Search is fun.
