Didn't the article say Google, not Schmidt, gave $21 million to the think tank?
- CalChris 9y agoI wasn't responding to the article. I was responding to fowlerpower's comment: > The thing is that Google has absolutely gone down questionable path from their early days. And as for the article, it says: > The New America Foundation has received more than $21 million from Google; its parent company’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt; and his family’s foundation since the think tank’s founding in 1999. So yes, Google did contribute. But so did Schmidt and his family foundation. I think this is mostly on Schmidt personally rather than Google as a corporation.
- Jesus_Jones 9y agoI think they are indistinguishable here. Google and Schmidt both gave money, Schmidt is the executive chairman of google, so there's no distance between them.
