Google's Search Algorithm Could Steal the Presidency | WIRED

"... But a study published this week says that the order of those results, the ranking of positive or negative stories on the screen, can have an enormous influence on the way you vote. And if the election is close enough, the effect could be profound enough to change the outcome."

How is this any different than how the mass media completely and utterly controls the vote?

There hasn't been an honest presidential election in this country for decades......many, many decades. Like Stalin said...it isn't who you vote for, it's who counts the votes.
