    Denial is the only thing they've got.

    Criticism of the data

    "Other academics have joined Google in criticizing Epstein's methodology and conclusions.
    One issue is the quality of news sources.
    Google says one of its criteria for ranking news results is how authoritative a source is. Using Epstein's methodology, a search engine whose top results page did not feature an article from a far-right pro-Trump website, such as Breitbart, would be ranked as more biased in favor of Clinton than a search engine that did showcase Breitbart -- even if the first search engine highlighted a deeply informative Washington Post investigation about Trump's past and the second search engine highlighted Breitbart's pro-Trump puff piece."

    And if Google ranks CNN or Huffington Post as a reliable news source, than it further shows the bias.

    No, but the continuing investigations will continue to show what a crook he is.

    You still haven't figured out how Trump works, have you. If he thinks they should be sued, he should bring the suit. Anybody can sue anybody for anything, as you likely know.

    If you have evidence beyond anecdotes, present it. Nice dodge, though. Always a great reminder that Trump followers can never actually defend the man on his own terms, only distract and dodge.

    The Clinton supporter and professor testified under oath to googles bias behavior manipulating weak minded voters to support Clinton in 2016. I am not at all surprised folks like yourself are ignoring the evidence much like you did the mueller report

    The professor has clearly stated it is a misrepresentation of the research to say it is evidence that Google is doing this deliberately. I am not surprised folks like yourself have ignored this fact. Plus you know, I actually looked at the methodology. Unlike the Trumpists. Not impressive.

    A video of his testimony has been provided. His testimony is clear. When asked if googles boss manipulated voters he said yes. He didn’t beat around the bush, it was absolutely clear.

    I’ve watched the actual testimony. I paraphrased it. He speaks for himself under oath.

    What blinders the problematic cloud strike report possibly attempting to hack city voter rolls? What? None of that had any effect on the election. Certainly no more than the self serving Comey's ham handed attempts to white wash Hillary's obviously criminal handling of classified docs and her equally obvious Obstruction of Justice in bit bleaching the server and destroying 14 black berries all of which were under subpoena.

    For the same reason you point to hack research that claims Russian social media propaganda robbed Clinton of votes while dismissing out of hand the notion that Google manipulation could have worked in Clinton's favor.

    You and Trump are both partisans for whom the truth is irrelevant.

    You can call eliminating bold face lies and fake news "manipulation", if you want. But few people give any credence to Trump and his supporters anymore... except other Trump supporters, of course.

    It's the result of too much lying.

    Would any Trumpette like to take a swing at this?

    This just shows how easy it is to influence the masses of weak minded gullible Americans. Tens of millions believe anything you put in front of them on the Internet. In the movie American President with Micheal Douglas there is a line the captures the true ignorance of people. "You can lead people through the burning desert and have them drink the sand because they don't know the difference."

    If you applied the same standard to the Liar-in-Chief that you apply to news outlets who occasionally get a story wrong you'd never believe another word Don said.

    Not according to google. According to Fox's interpretation of this. Google says they are eliminating fake news. And they might both be right. Given that 99% of Trump's propaganda is based on fake news.
