    Audit: Google Heavily Favors CNN and Left Media in Mass Shooting Coverage <----For those that can't "tell" or "see" and claim that I'm just "another conservative trying to hide things" that is a link.

    In any case...

    Read what that link has to say. They provide their methodology and if you follow the links in the article they even provide definitions of what they have determined to be "right" or "left" leaning.

    Whether Google is doing it on purpose or by accident, it is quite obvious that there IS a bias in Google's algorithms. One that leans left. Even Dr. Epstein who is an avowed liberal for decades has talked about Google and its bias.

    Again, whether Google is doing it on purpose is, at this time, debateable. Until we have an independent agency look at their coding there is only circumstantial evidence. Although considering some of the documents that have been leaked I think its a bit more than circumstantial that is, still just my opinion.

    But the fact of the matter is that there IS a liberal bias at Google and it is reflected in studies that are being done. This one just being one of them.

    In addition to that, it's just so very odd that their bias, always leans left, just a great big, series of ongoing 'coincidences' I am sure.

    Screw the leftist googurl, change search engines, Duck Duck go, seems a good one.

    I saw a funny picture of Hitler playing a video game the other day, taking the mick out of the notion that video games make people violent. I wanted to see what the original picture looked like as the editing was fantastic, starting typing 'picture Hitler in' and guess what, Trump came up. How ridiculous.

    Google "leans" left. So what, what's the problem. All you "critical thinking" people on the right should be able to filter through the noise just fine.

    Google is the most pure evil entity on earth.

    Do a google search on "should women get married". Every result on the 1st page have links to articles attempting to talk women out of getting married.
    Do a bing search on "should women get married". Bingo, a balanced search result.

    This is what we call propaganda, google opposes marriage for women and they have tailored their search results to reflect that worldview. Pure effing evil.

    Google probably does favor most media from right center to left center.

    Conservatives 2016 - "We want less restrictions on business! ... We want fewer regulations!"

    Conservatives 2019 - "Regulate Google and Twitter! ... regulate Google and Twitter!"

    As it should. Google is allied with China now, as evidenced by its unwillingness to work on US military projects and willingness to work on Chinese military projects instead

    Undermining the US is in Googles best interest now.

    They are a private corporation and may lean whichever way they want. Just like this forum does...

    Of course they may.

    However, regulating their involvement in our economy as allegiant to a competing foreign power would be both lawful and prudent.

    Barring that, Americans who support their country over China would be well advised to seperate themselves from Google.

    Republicans support less regulations of domestic entities. Most republicans very much support regulating the domestic activity of foreign alligned entities.

    Google is far more demonstrably a Chinese entity than an American one, now.
