Matt covered the bombshell Project Veritas report yesterday which showed key Google employees discussing the various ways that they can manipulate search results in order to ensure the type of United States election results that they want to see. What Google wants, the videos suggest, is to prevent President Trump from winning in 2020.

Well, Project Veritas decided to dig into this bastion of liberalism. After all, its reach to the public with their products is how millions get the news. It’s also a medium that Donald Trump harnessed expertly to outmaneuver the Left in the 2016 election. Liberals know it. Over at Google, one executive, Jen Gennai, is working hard to ensure that its AI feature and associated algorithms work hard to pretty much help alter electoral outcomes.
Project Veritas, founded by James O'Keefe, caught Gennai on tape chastising presidential candidate and progressive icon Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for wanting to break up Google. Gennai claims this is wrong to do because smaller companies would not be able to prevent the "next Trump situation."
"Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google," Gennai said. “And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation, it’s like a small company cannot do that."
Gennai also claimed that "We all got screwed over in 2016, again it wasn’t just us, it was, the people got screwed over, the news media got screwed over, like, everybody got screwed over so we’re rapidly been like, what happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again.”
“We’re also training our algorithms, like, if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different?" she said to the Project Veritas undercover investigator.
In response to Veritas videos, Gennai said she was simply "having a casual chat with someone at a restaurant and used some imprecise language."
She also asserts that, despite being the Head of Responsible Innovation at Google, she is an inconsequential employee within the company. Strangely enough, however, Gennai deleted all of her social media accounts following the release of O'Keefe's video.
On Tuesday, Project Veritas released a leaked e-mail showing an employee named Liam Hopkins. The email seems to confirm that Google's algorithms are being manipulated to suppress conservative thought.
via Project Veritas:
Project Veritas has obtained a newly leaked document from Google that appears to show a Google employee and member of Google “transparency-and-ethics” group calling conservative and libertarian commentators, including Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro, “nazis.” Project Veritas received this document after the release of its investigation into Google through the “Be Brave” campaign at VeritasTips@protonmail.com.
The email apparently was sent as part of the Google “transparency-and-ethics” group internal communications and suggests that content from PragerU, Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro should be disabled from the “suggestion feature.”
It is unclear what Hopkins role is on the "transparency-and-ethics" team, but in December of 2018, a Google software engineer named Liam Hopkins signed a public letter to Google's CEOs signed "2019 must be the year to end forced arbitration.
The email released Tuesday, which can be seen here, has been transcribed below:
"Today it is often 1 or 2 steps to Nazis if we understand that PragerU, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro et al are nazis using the dog whistles you mention in step 1. I can receive these recommendations regardless of the content of what I'm looking at, and I have recorded thousands of internet users sharing the same experience.”
“I don’t think correctly identifying far-right content is beyond our capabilities. But if it is, why not go with Meredith’s suggestion of disabling the suggestions feature? That could be significant in terms of user trust."
The leaked email seems to disprove Gennai's claim on Monday that “Google has repeatedly been clear that it works to be a trustworthy source of information, without regard to political viewpoint. In fact, Google has no notion of political ideology in its rankings.”
Editor's Note: In the interest of transparency, the author of this piece has a relative who works for Project Veritas. <
Time to de-FAANG the monsters in Silicon Valley.
I’m sure Ben SHAPIRO appreciates being called a Nazi.
Yeah and so does Dennis Prager NOT
Yeah and so does Dennis Prager NOT
Hoaxing the results by biasing the algorithms in favor of what Google wants instead of what the consumer wants is deceptive advertising at the least.

As far as I'm concerned, there's only ONE Master of the Universe, and that's the one I pray to. He has a short name, easy to remember, and it's NOT Gennai or any of her ilk. When a company's employees think that it's their call alone as to who should be President, it's time to break that company up.
Ping.
All 3 big supporters of Jews and Israel and they are called Nazi’s? As Ron Simmons would “Just damn”.
My opinion...is anyone using Google or Facebook...should stop using them.
I'm not like this or that...
I'm like...saying this.
I'm like a valley girl....

Is the author claiming that google's "suggestions feature" is pointing users toward conservative ideas? If it does, it was surely not intentional.
Balless republicans in congress and the wh and doj, nada.
Hannity said there was a BIG “BOOM” coming tomorrow...
Hannity is like Pat Buchanan, who
rides to the sound of his gums.
Like fer sure, Jen is a Val, Tow-TaLee.
Like, that Google chick, is like real, uh, like professional.
Correction: bought-off Republicans.
How do you think they leave office as multi-millionaires?
You don’t even need the video in order to see how biased google is and what they are up to. Just doing a search for conservative material on google in this day and age will show that every thing is being manipulated for the left. And that includes the next presidential race.
