... who has noticed that Internet search engines are apparently being diverted from free educational use to strictly commercial use?

I have not noticed DM.
But I've to some degree predicted this. Internet search engine infrastructure (the computers required to do the searching) is extremely expensive. The fact that Google is so appallingly wealthy indicates there's huge $$$ in it. And when there's huge $$$, "interests" are served. Commercial TV does not exist to bring entertainment to audiences. Commercial TV exists to bring prospective clients and consumers to advertisers. Right now it may seem like search engines are for the user. But I don't expect that to last much longer. |

Republicans are afraid of Obama because then they will remember what the president's real job description is and be shocked to find out that there
isn't any "must act like Dumbo" requirements.
