Google, the most powerful search engine in the world, is now displaying fact checks for conservative publications in its results. No prominent liberal site receives the same treatment.
And not only is Google’s fact-checking highly partisan — perhaps reflecting the sentiments of its leaders — it is also blatantly wrong, asserting sites made “claims” they demonstrably never made.
When searching for a media outlet that leans right, like The Daily Caller (TheDC), Google gives users details on the sidebar, including what topics the site typically writes about, as well as a section titled “Reviewed Claims.”
Vox, and other left-wing outlets and blogs like Gizmodo, are not given the same fact-check treatment. When searching their names, a “Topics they write about” section appears, but there are no “Reviewed Claims.” In fact, a review of mainstream outlets, as well as other outlets associated with liberal and conservative audiences, shows that only conservative sites feature the highly misleading, subjective analysis. Several conservative-leaning outlets like TheDC are “vetted,” while equally partisan sites like Vox, ThinkProgress, Slate, The Huffington Post, Daily Kos, Salon, Vice and Mother Jones are spared.
Occupy Democrats is apparently the only popular content provider from that end of the political spectrum with a fact-checking section.
Big name publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times are even given a column showcasing all of the awards they have earned over the years.

I use BRAVE which by the way filters out third party adds speeding up page loading.
I second the use of Brave. It’s the browser that was developed after the Mozilla CEO was forced out because he donated to a pro-family cause.
That’s on top of the multiple hurdles they put on getting to conservative content on Youtube PLUS demonetizing it. If no one can find it, you get warnings before you play it and you can’t share it, it is like the small out of the way “free speech area” on a college campus ... so restricted that it might as well not exist.
Liberals consider their political ideology the source of good.
So liberals at Google censoring conservative content, punishing individuals specifically (like cancelling Dr. Jordan Peterson’s email account in addition to censoring his Youtube channel) and skewing results to suit their side is MORAL to them.
