You missed the part where google is routinely sued and fined based off their manipulation of search results. There is nothing fair or balanced about it.

Sorry for the breaking news my friend.

The European Union slapped Google with a record-breaking $2.7 billion fine on Tuesday, charging that the U.S. tech giant had manipulated search results in a way that gives an “illegal advantage” to its own services while harming the company’s rivals.

You should also look up on how Facebook had a pro-liberal anti-conservative agenda in their newsfeed which they are under fire for

But this week, Facebook said it would bring in advisers to investigate whether it suppresses conservative voices, the latest in a post-Cambridge Analytica goodwill campaign to rebuild trust with its 2.2 billion users.

So yes, conservative media suppression does exist. And it has nothing to do with being a “paid advertiser.”

When all you generate is "bad news", bad news is what you get.

Actually, I'm surprised he knows how to Google.

Trump liked his early morning tweet so much that he just posted it again - word for word.
Guy is obviously distracted and not focused on his job today.

I think that we know Google plays with what we see etc and as explained, you have to know what you are looking for. it takes time sometimes but you can get through.

Joke is -- Trump typed in Trump Good News.

Trump successes or accomplishments maybe.

But you have to have some grasp of the English language beyond 5th grade to be successful with google -- lol.

Guys, obviously we'll all get different things because Google Search is an algorithm, not a flow chart. Smart people designed and run it so they aren't gonna make their bias obvious... but the bias is still there and you have to dig to see the big picture. If you search "gun" and start digging, I guarantee you will get more ant-gun than pro-gun stuff over all the results. Remember, the difference is subtle, not necessarily as extreme as the difference between CNN and Infowars. Go ahead, do it. Give me a report that I can peer review.

Google only pulls sites from an estimated 4% of the internet. If you went to a library, asked the librarian for a bunch of books on different subjects and she would only let you browse 4 bookshelves shelves out of the 100 in the building wouldn't you suspect something is up?

I know Trump hate is just what the kewl kids do but you'd have to be incredibly dumb to not recognize that the Mass Media is extremely anti-Trump. You'd have to be just as dumb to not realize Google is more than a little left-leaning and wants more than to just hoard billions of dollars. They want control... and control = power.
You get the first bolded, but Trump doesn't. Maybe you should run for president.

Google isn't a public library. It's a private business with the goal of making money and it gives customers what they want, or what it can manipulate them into wanting, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS. What do you want to do about that?

Reminds me of the "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes" meme.

That's why a users should never click on the top search results. SEM with tracking embedded to follow you around is worth avoiding to this reader.

No one, regardless of persuasion, should be using Facebook for news.

Oh, dear.

There has been a bit of bad news lately. I can see where Trump could get distracted from his day job.

Just saw where Roger Stone is jabbering about Don Jr. getting indicted.

How long before the tweets about how the guy wasn't around that much, really just held a part-time junior position.
