This is a clear fact. Only a braying, unconscionably dishonest, Democrat-left, partisan hack would try to refute it.
Fox News is the first Trump news story I get when I type in Trump.

I rarely go to Fox News.

But that's the top story.

Are you telling me Fox News is extremely slanted towards the left....EEEKS

Try "Trump" and you get "Trump news". According to the Washington Times in March of this year, Trump coverage is 90% negative.

You can do this over and over again searching almost anything and inevitably get steered first to companies and sites with Leftist ideologies.

Do you people even internet?
Yes... we all internet. This site is reached via...

THE INTERNET.

If you Google "gun" of course you will get "gun control" because news usually comes first and not much news is out there that's pro-gun.

If you Google a specific type of gun or gun-related topic, you get what you wanted.

I just Googled "night sights for Glock 26" and I got exactly what I asked for, including some helpful review videos. I even got the sights I have on mine in a video review.

See? It works just fine. No mentions of gun control anywhere.

I don't get autofill for gun, I guess because I never google it. If I type "Trump" it might suggest "Trump news" or "Trump tweets today" because I look those things up.

Trump has way too much time on his tiny little hands.

You don't know google do you? LOL

YOUR google search auto-filled gun control because you obviously have googled search gun control before .

My gooogle search of gun popped up with the gun stores, Wikipedia on gun, etc.


This is hilarious.....someone accusing others of not knowing how to use the internet but doesn't know why gun control was auto filled for them -- lololol.
Interesting. I did a google search on "gun" and the first search term to autofill was "gun broker." Not sure what that says about me.

The first news story that popped up for me was from Fox News. Then there were a bunch of stories about Trump complaining about Google. I'm neither braying nor dishonest.

I probably have only googled searched gun control or something like that. I don't own a gun -- I don't care about them (I don't care if you want one either)....but when I type in gun in search -- the suggestions I got were gun shop, gun type, gun online...etc. no gun control .

But yes -- your google search 'suggestions' or assist are based on what most popular searches AND your previous searches.

Only Trump and a few don't know that.

Mine was also gun broker... well "gunbroker" really. And a few down was "guns n roses."

I did not get "gun control" as an autofill, either. Maybe because I'm not worried about it enough to search it?

Anyway... once I click through to "gun" I do get some news stories on 3D printing of guns and how that's a gun control issue, but after that I just get stuff about guns and firearms... Wikipedia, history, opinion pieces about carrying guns, etc.
