We had a discussion on their anti-conservative bias a couple of weeks ago. I could use a refresher course because I can't remember the details. Does anyone?

I got it both on "I'm Feeling Lucky" and searching regularly. When I got it searching regularly, I hit the Cache link, which will highlight the terms in the document you search. Neither "miserbale" nor "failure" nor any combination thereof was located in the biography.

As reported by politicalwire.com, Google is not being partisan, but "has been manipulated by anti-Bush bloggers".

See link below to see how:

As I understand it, Google is a unique search engine in that it ranks pages by how often other pages refer to the page it serves up in the context of your search.

For example, if you searched for "automobile repair" you might get a lot of pin-up calendar Web sites if a bunch of auto repair Web sites point to calendar sites.

Every Dim Bush-bashing Web site (including the New York Times) that links the Whitehouse site in the context of "miserable failure" will cause Google to increase the Whitehouse site's score in that search.

If every FReeper put up a Web site and linked to Sen. Clinton's site with the reference of "miserable failure" she would show up first.

Shalom.

Anti-Bush webloggers purposefully thwarting Google

Google Applies Double Standard to Political Vendors

"I'm taking part in a new web project...

From this day forth, I will refer to George W. Bush as a Miserable Failure at least once a day. Why, you ask? Well, someone came up with this great idea to link George W. Bush and Miserable Failure in popular search engines. If you have a blog or web site, help raise the link between George W. Bush and the phrase 'miserable failure' by copying this link and placing somewhere on your site or blog."
