Is Google manipulating its algorithm to prioritize left-leaning news outlets in their coverage of President Trump? It sure looks that way based on recent search results for news on the president.
Conservatives and Trump supporters have for the last several years questioned whether Google was deprioritizing conservative news sites, hiding them from users who utilize their search engine. Google has maintained that all outlets are treated fairly, but nevertheless, conservative sites have reported reduced search traffic and, in the case of Google-owned YouTube, content creators have been banned and demonetized. Google's high-profile firing of conservative James Damore, purportedly over his conservative political views, only reinforces the idea that Google is picking winners and losers.

Most of the censorship and various media bias against all things American exists - and is getting worse.
Question is: what is being done about it? Whether they be broken up in an anti trust case, or regulated like a utility, or eliminating barriers to entry, something has to change.
Sick of these Nazi’s!
Yes.
And they are truly Nazi’s.
“96 Percent of Google Search Results for ‘Trump’ News Are from Liberal Media Outlets”
-
Not a surprise since 96 percent of media outlets are liberal.
Yes. Google and Bing change search terms so the results come out politically correct.
Try these:
“blacks killing cops”
It is changed to:
“cops killing blacks”
The ministry of “truth” is functioning 100% as designed. The casualty is truth and freedom.
Anyone recall many moons ago when Dubya was running and you would ‘GOOGLE’ the word ‘FAILURE’ AND ___-— Up came a name—— George W. Bush ???
And that was nearly what? 20 Years ago?
No one is forcing conservatives to use these Leftist social media sites. Find something else to do with your time.
[GOOGLE blatantly censored Ted Cruz results]
Has existed since Obama data weaponization and last elections; reported here on FR when ANY search for [Ted Cruz] resulted in
EXTREME NEGATIVE BIAS
when compared to:
YAHOO, BING, ASK.COM and DUCKDUCKGO,
...which gave balanced RESULTS.
[GOOGLE blatantly censored Ted Cruz results]
… yet search gave balanced and fair data on all other Search Engines.

I just entered “Trump” in Google to see what happened.
It came back with “Political Leaders” as follows:
Political leaders
Hillary Clinton
Vladimir Putin
Bernie Sanders
Angela Merkel
Theresa May
Justin Trudeau
John McCain
This is search engine results, not social media sites.
I don’t use Google for a search engine. I use duckduckgo.com
Is duckduckgo.com really secure? I doubt it, but using it and https: login where possible has greatly reduced my hits when I search for my name. So, for me that is worth it.
Try this search “Trump News” on:
and then on
I think you will see a difference in results.
Yes, the devil is in the details.
Thanks for that history. I missed that discussion, but was aware it was going on.
I’ve been to “employee only” programming staff meetings at Google. Nothing like this was discussed at these meetings, but the things that were discussed are indicative of corporate psychology that would absolutely use every resource to benefit the global world order that Google obviously espouses. The instructions from the technology management were explicitly to use every dirty means to get more traffic from users. Literally, they said “every dirty means”. Lying, psychology, whatever.
Google is immoral to the core, and the google programmers think that’s okay. They get free food, they get to use scooters in the hallways, they get to diss the elderly and the conservative.
Corruption.
Certainly makes the point. Thanks
Thanks you for that insight.
Kinda makes sense. About 96% of media outlets are liberal
Instead of seeing what he is doing, they search in recursive searches for fake news by fake news...
I just did the same search on Google and President Trump was the 1st image shown on top of the result screen.
Followed by:
John McCain
Barack Obama
Angela Merkel
Winston Churchill
George W. Bush
Hillary Clinton
Valdimir Putin
So, conclusion? The search engine results are tied to history of the searcher. Whether Google can identify the person searching by name or not.
Liberal Media Outlets = “Trusted” under their new policies.
