Does anyone have a great example of a story that Google buries because it doesn't fit the narrative but something like Duck Duck Go has it come up in the search results? Asking for a friend.

Anyone who thinks that Google doesn't have an agenda, all they need to do is ask Google if men can give birth.

At the start of the pandemic, you could find discussion of the vaccine that was not "pro" in nature. Bloomberg had lots of articles, as did other orgs.

Soon, google was scrubbed clean of anything that was not outright pro-vaccine - no data or concerns or any evidence that didn't support the "pro" position was wiped out. It happened overnight.

Just about everything of the adverse effects of covid are scrubbed. Masks not working was scrubbed at some point.

I'm sure someone will be along any second to show you lists and lists of "buried" stories, since they exist in such abundance.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

The whole premise of the original post ~ Someone wants to prove google bias, but can't. Asks a friend, but friend can't. So friend asks random people on the internet. Random people on the internet say "yes". Goes back to friend and says "Yes, Google is biased. I knew it."
