“Half” is a joke. If you look at the entire market (i.e the entire world) that Google is addressing, the segment of American Republicans who support gun rights and are concerned about equal time for the extreme right wing is vanishingly small.

About half of Americans are right of center. What I'm saying is EVERY political stance google takes alienates a segment of their customers and employees. This includes stances which alienate left leaning people too. Does anyone remember that the YouTube shooter was a PETA activist who was enraged over the demonetization and de-circulation of her videos?

  right != extreme right. That the overton window has shifted doesn't mean what's on display is just "right wing" - it's extreme. So what is "center" anyways? The single-axis political scale is a very flawed way of looking at

    I guess center is the median? Therefore by definition half will always be right of center.

      The center is it's own political direction which seeks to apply proposals from both left and right, pragmatism is a driving force.
