His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

So if Damore gave a woman engineer a negative review, the woman could have a case because of his memo, Ford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is case law with respect to that,” Ford said. “Employers have been held liable when they’ve done nothing to repudiate or correct for those points of view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at that point, he said, the burden is on the employer to prove that sexism wasn’t a factor in blocking a female engineer’s promotion or pay raise.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>The European Commission has fined Google 2.42 billion euros ($2.72 billion) after finding that the company used its dominant search engine to drive people toward another Google product, its shopping service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What Google has done is illegal under EU antitrust rules,\" said European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager. \"It denied other companies the chance to compete on the merits and to innovate. And most importantly, it denied European consumers a genuine choice of services and the full benefits of innovation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of the fine, \u003ca href=\"http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-1784_en.htm\">the European Commission said\u003c/a>, is due to \"the duration and gravity\" of Google's actions. It gave the company 90 days to change its practices and display rivals' services in the same way it displays its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blog.google/topics/google-europe/european-commission-decision-shopping-google-story/\">Google said\u003c/a> it will review the fine and is considering an appeal. The company also defended the way it handles online shopping, saying that it connects users with advertisers \"in ways that are useful for both.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We respectfully disagree with the conclusions announced today,\" said Google general counsel Kent Walker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fine centers around Google's comparison shopping service — which has been known by names from Froogle and Google Product Search to Google Shopping — and its prominent display in related search results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vestager said Google \"abused its market dominance ... by promoting its own comparison shopping service in its search results, and demoting those of competitors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"38esMKI4PXSLIZVAnwodwRcBK0QmFrgw\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That behavior, Vestager said, went too far. While acknowledging that Google's strategy included a plan to make its shopping product better than anyone else's, she said that the way the company treated its rivals and \"systematically\" ranked its own service at or near the top of the rankings went beyond the normal scope of competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google adopted the same practice in all 13 EU countries where it unveiled its shopping service, the European Commission says, starting with Germany and the United Kingdom in 2008 and, most recently, with Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Poland and Sweden in late 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the effects of Google's strategy, the commission says that traffic to Google's comparison shopping service rose \"45-fold in the United Kingdom, 35-fold in Germany, 19-fold in France, 29-fold in the Netherlands, 17-fold in Spain and 14-fold in Italy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission says that Google's rivals saw their traffic plummet — by 85 percent in the United Kingdom, 92 percent in Germany and 80 percent in France.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These sudden drops could also not be explained by other factors,\" the European body adds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

And most importantly, it denied European consumers a genuine choice of services and the full benefits of innovation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of the fine, \u003ca href=\"http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-1784_en.htm\">the European Commission said\u003c/a>, is due to \"the duration and gravity\" of Google's actions. It gave the company 90 days to change its practices and display rivals' services in the same way it displays its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blog.google/topics/google-europe/european-commission-decision-shopping-google-story/\">Google said\u003c/a> it will review the fine and is considering an appeal. The company also defended the way it handles online shopping, saying that it connects users with advertisers \"in ways that are useful for both.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We respectfully disagree with the conclusions announced today,\" said Google general counsel Kent Walker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While acknowledging that Google's strategy included a plan to make its shopping product better than anyone else's, she said that the way the company treated its rivals and \"systematically\" ranked its own service at or near the top of the rankings went beyond the normal scope of competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google adopted the same practice in all 13 EU countries where it unveiled its shopping service, the European Commission says, starting with Germany and the United Kingdom in 2008 and, most recently, with Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Poland and Sweden in late 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the effects of Google's strategy, the commission says that traffic to Google's comparison shopping service rose \"45-fold in the United Kingdom, 35-fold in Germany, 19-fold in France, 29-fold in the Netherlands, 17-fold in Spain and 14-fold in Italy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission says that Google's rivals saw their traffic plummet — by 85 percent in the United Kingdom, 92 percent in Germany and 80 percent in France.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These sudden drops could also not be explained by other factors,\" the European body adds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>This was not exactly the decision VG Media had hoped for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collective of German publishers had sued Google, arguing that the tech giant has infringed on copyright protections by offering snippets of the publishers’ articles in search results. Those snippets, according to VG Media, hurt the publishers’ bottom line by sating potential readers’ curiosity and violated a 2013 German law that requires compensation for those snippets of text.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet on Tuesday a Berlin court raised some concerns with the law itself often known in English as the Ancillary Copyright for Press Publishers.
