I believe you miss the small detail that "El Pais" and other Spanish newspapers and media are technically bankrupt because of Google. Google and Facebook grew their profits by advertisements, traditional media (that did not innovate anything) lost all this revenue. So they(traditional media) are terribly biassed against Google and make everything they can to harm the company. They destroyed Google News for example.

If you don't like what the newspapers are saying -- or are suspecting them of severely distorting and/or outright fabricating the reasons behind the raid conducted earlier today -- I'm sure the Hacienda will be putting out their own press releases soon, if they haven't already.

  Why would they? If it is not in their interests ("their interests" as in "in the PR interests of politicians who control what the agency does") and there is no legal requirement to do so?

    Either way, I'm not sure what the point is in trying to shift focus to the newspapers or the politicians.
    - ptaipale 10y ago
      Well, the whole point of the exercise is that politicians want to have something in newspapers.

        That's your hypothesis. Presumably it will be up to the courts to determine whether the raid on Google's offices was legitimate and necessary, or not.
