Of course they do. Their credibility is on the line, and much has already been lost; they will forever be that group who is beholden to Google.

- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoAh usually I'd give the benefit of the doubt, but look at that email sent by Slaughter. Besides it's not just Barry Lynn departing, it's the whole Open Markets program aka anyone in a position to question Google's market dominance. The statement by New America is going to be sufficiently vague to avoid saying that there was any connection between Google's funding and the cutting of this program but the email lays out quite clearly that's exactly what it was. Sometimes it's better to ignore the PR.
- tanderson92 9y agoAs expected, Slaughter's statement doesn't challenge any of the facts ("false") reported. It is, however, a textbook non-denial denial.
