Better source needed.

Google cannot invent an program to do it? Hillary is leading the team! I heard that so it must be true. George Soros is funding it and AOC is introducing legislation to make it mandatory.

You're claiming they take the time to train their algorithm to respond differently to various keywords. That's not happening. Neither is some Google employee writing two lines of code: "if search equals abortion, exclude "pro-life." That's also not happening.

Algorithms are biased, but not in the way you think.

It's been said that Hillary got up to 4.2 Million votes by this manipulation. Add in voting by the illegals in certain Democrat states, and Trump won the election by a YUGE margin.



So no wonder they made up the fake story about Russian bogymen.

I agree. I understand that their search results are biased and work around it. But to say their results aren't biased is obviously not true.

Yes, they can collude with foreign governments as long as they do not break any laws. So can the President, or a private citizen running for President. But when such a person asks a foreigner to break the law, and they do so, a line has been crossed. Hacking an email server is breaking the law and the request for doing so was captured on TV.

So should we implement affirmative action so conservatives can get a fair shake? Maybe the reason this doesn't pop up has to do with popularity, the same thing with the media they appeal to the masses not the wing nuts.

OK Ugga, if Google is treating you guys so badly simply boycott them... do it, otherwise you are not only being abused by a corp but you are also a WILLING VICTIM. literally .
So are you a WILLING VICTIM Ugga? If not boycott Google like an Alpha!
My guess is Trump supporters would much rather just complain and accept their beta status with google than stand up and boycott Google ...

And if snopes "debunked" any right leaning talking points about something it is sure to show up at the top of the results.

And yes, google is a private company and they can do what they want, and we are free to give our opinions about what they do and/or seek alternatives to using their product.
