there's no denying their left preference/bias. Are they now big enough, close enough to a monopoly that they should be regulated? I'm leaning towards yes or it should/will happen fairly soon. While I dislike government involvement generally, their influence and market share stifles other competition and will only continue to do so and capture more of the market/audience. (factor in YouTube as well)

Just because some powerful and influential company has a political bias you dislike, does not mean the principles of free market should suddenly be violated. Brin has built that company from scratch; he has the final say in what bias it is going to have, not you, me or the government.
If someone dislikes the political bias of Google and wants to counter it, they are welcome to build their own company of a similar scope from scratch and introduce the opposite bias to even the scales.

If you want to talk about the narrative that Google is pushing left leaning sources to the top of searches, or giving negative results to right leaning sources we can get into that algorithm. Just remember the same people in government who made this claim also asked Google why a negative ad for himself popped up on his granddaughters iPhone. An Apple product. The Representatives that sparked this whole line of thinking know little to nothing about technology, let alone how a complex search engine works.

The problems with Google are the same as the problems with any large entity: it becomes so influential that it can get away with many very questionable practices, and the corruption inside such an entity makes customer satisfaction secondary to the practices that please the management. Overly invasive ads, overblown security and control measures, law bending with financial settlements in court, et cetera.
But the political leaning? Google does not give me an impression of that kind of organization.
