Trump left out of Google search for presidential candidates
WTNH Television ^ | 07/27/2016 | Puppage

COLUMBUS (WCMH) – Need to know who’s running for President of the United States? Don’t Google it.

Searching for ‘presidential candidates’ brings up a handy guide above all of the other search results with pictures of candidates with active campaigns. Clicking on a picture brings up searches for the candidates.

The only problem is that Republican candidate Donald Trump isn’t included. Neither is Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson.

Results are shown for Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

As of 5am Wednesday, the results are unchanged.

Where is the FEC and the FTC. There is no legal proof of a RICO conspiracy

Well, if you need Google to figure out who are the candidates, the chances of you successfully getting to the ballot box are pretty slim, I figure. Nonetheless, Google, Twitter, and Facebook clearly have cast their lots behind the Dimocrats, Good luck under the Trump administration you dirty bastards. May you incur endless audits.

Algorithm weightage problem. I think they have added higher weightage for seasonality/event. Currently DNC is going on.

Ha!

And now the top story AT GOOGLE is (from various media sources)...”Trump left out of Google search for presidential candidates.”.

And what if one is searching for the background, the policies, the positions of presidential candidates? Anyone should have all that information available on ALL candidates. Google is indeed interfering with the 2016 presidential campaign.

I could only see its usefulness if one were wondering who else to vote for, if one didn’t intend to vote for either Hillary or Trump. Funny, though, it had listed active campaigns for Hillary, Bernie, and Jill Stein. No photo of Trump or Gary Johnson.

I just googled “presidential candidates 2016” (without the quotes), and the first thing to appear was a news story about Google omitting Trump. The first link is to Ballotpedia.org, which does indeed include Trump.

An expert on one of the shows this week said Google could steer a few million votes this election year le to the Dems.

I guess this is how.

That’s too much power.

Google removes special presidential candidates box that omitted Trump

"At this point, the candidates carousel no longer shows up for the search. It has been replaced by news stories about the omission of Trump."

LOL

It was obviously intentional. I’m sure Google will “do an internal investigation” to “get to the bottom of this” and “take appropriate disciplinary action”. Yeah.
