Stupid Google Facts
An article at Insight Mag tries to prove a perception of Saudi Arabian citizens as terrorists, by starting:
To say that Saudi Arabia has a perception problem is an understatement. A search for Saudi Arabia and terrorism on Google leads to more than 758,000 links in 0.24 second.I use Google all the time for research at my newspaper, but the very idea of using the number of Google results to prove a point seems ludicrous. A search for "Britney Spears genius" has 61,000 results. I guess Britney is a genius!
