Web surfing with Rupert Murdoch

An article on NPR (via Metafilter) delves into speciality search engines that screen out material according to the users' religious preference. Here are some details (and my one word summary's):
Houdmann says a search on his site would not turn up pornography.
Practical.
If you search “gay marriage,” you would get results that argue against gay marriage.
Predictable.
And if you type in “Democratic Party,” your first search result is a site on Marxism.
Pathetic.
