I disagree. First, Google (and FB/amzn, which also have dogs in this) are extremely powerful within the media industry. So, their shadow looms very long here.

Second, thinking of these issues as running via media through to an informed public to an attentive political structure is far too naive.
Political mechanisms are rarely about for Vs against. It's about defining the debate, legislation and it's details.
Google have a ton of influence in many sectors. Small businesses are one. News media is another. Enlisting these to achieve their political goals is corporatism.
