We refuse to get news from google! We prefer to get the real NEWS, not fake! Check out FOXNEWS, Beck, NewsMax! You're wasting your time with the others who think Obama is still there! Behind the times!

Google is biased. I just googled 'did oTrump win in a landslide 2016' and every result for 2 pages was a liberal outlet, reporting 'nope' 'false''blah blah...so having over 70 more electoral votes *isn't* a landslide now?

This got me curious, so I googled 'why does google give results from liberal outlets' AND EVERY RESULT WAS A LIBERAL OUTLET claiming google doesn't favor liberals. I found this article on PAGE THREE!

There is some bias bullshit going on that i have to dig and dig for any article not coming from a left leaning news outlets.

I will fully admit that from 2001-2016 I was a liberal, so maybe the algorithm has me locked in...but all of my internet activity of late has been learning more about Republicans, centrism, libertarians and/or about liberal bias, identity politics on the left...for 2 years now. I would think the Google algorithm would know I no longer trust liberal media and I much prefer conservative and centrist outlets.

The only bias on the right is for TRUTH.

God bless Trump, #Trump2020

Basically, this whole Google search "study" cited in the hearing relies on the idea the NY Times and the Washington Post are extreme far-left outlets.

Latveria Jones • 5 years ago

Attisson is herself biased-works for Right-leaning Sinclair Media, and her chart is similarly biased, for example listed Reason as a dead center source when it is Libertarian, and so forth. By charting all mainstream media to the Left she guarantees that the bulk of media coverage will fall to the left. This is just garbage in, garbage out in terms of analysis.

Tom • 5 years ago

There is nothing "centrist" about Reuters. In fact, they fabricate news even more often than CNN. CNN "interprets" news from a left-wing perspective. Reuters actually fabricates "news".
Also, only the WSJ editorial page can be considered conservative - the rest of the paper is decidedly liberal.

coolflannelcat • 5 years ago

What a joke. All of the search engines are biased now. Liberal owned and operated. I see it every single day. Search results that one year ago would yield at least a few conservative views and coverage are now gone or pages away from the actual search. I find my news in other ways now.

flyingmonkey589 • 5 years ago

Look at the ones who have a monopoly of the media. There is your answer.

Arthur Conrad • 5 years ago

Sinclair Broadcasting - 85% share of U.S. media market

Far right ownership.

Appenzeller • 5 years ago

The fact that this article is the first thing to come up for the Google search "Is google biased" is kind of ironic.

Luke • 5 years ago

Either your lying or your very lucky. For me I had 20 or so left/far left news feeds show up before I saw this.

Christopher Brian Tegner • 5 years ago

I made a tongue in cheek cartoon about Hillary saying for voters to text their votes - as a joke. Twitter banned me for life and Buzzfeed did a story featuring me the night before the election. Shows me first hand how fake the news is, I had less than ten followers , I wasn't influencing anything. Google my name for news story from Buzzfeed on Nov 7 2016, it's on there for life with my pic and full name. I made one funny tweet on Hillary's twitter and banned for life, put on national fake news, and audited by IRS shortly after.

Christopher Brian Tegner • 5 years ago

Even if you type in Hillary is a criminal , 80% of results are discussing why Trump is a criminal. Is this how liberals are going to win the country over? By manipulating and dumbing down Americans?

John Wilson • 5 years ago

Been at it for a century, yes.

HIT THE DECK • 5 years ago

democrats are trying very hard to ruin this country , they keep their voting base by telling them that they will protect them and actually they don't , they are dirty players anr liars , tax and spend ....tax and spend ....tax and spend , most big cities run by democrats are broke and full of crime , if that is what you want please vote for a democrat/socialist

Saaby000 • 5 years ago

Did u try any other search engines to see if there was any difference?

countryboy1972 • 5 years ago

darn. so unfair to Donald trump. how could google do this. we as good conservatives must rise up and defeat google

Jennifer Lambert • 5 years ago

I noticed that Google produces left-leaning results when searching under "abortion" or politics/politicians in general. Admittedly, they must be brilliant to have been able to create an algorithm that generates mostly left-leaning results. Moreover, they have a monopoly because they frankly produce the best results. It's rare for an alternate search engine to generate better results. Unfortunately.

Trish • 5 years ago

It reads like the perceived bias is because the "conservative" sites get far less clicks> isn"t it possible it is because many readers are only choosing to read the more liberal stories? and google offers sites based on history> i rarely click on fox because i already know how it will spin stories in fAvor of the president< so fox is Less likely to be offered to me unlesS i reQuest it Not a conspiracy but free market at work

That, my friends, is a stupid analysis.

1angrywhite • 5 years ago

That received much acclaim.

Mike Tipton • 5 years ago

They’re not “Liberal Media Outlets” - they’re REAL media outlets.

1angrywhite • 5 years ago

There is nothing liberal or liberating about so called Liberals

Rick Shonsite • 5 years ago

That's correct. Fiction is indeed presented through a form of media.

But they aren't journalists.

Fleetwood Eldorado • 5 years ago

Oh yes, of course they are!

Steve Goozman • 5 years ago

Well it's obvious who Google voted for.....sad and scary at the same time.

Meritocrat • 5 years ago

Beginning with the takeover of our educational system by the left, the increasing narrow-minded leftist leaning of everything, including MSM and "social" media should surprise no one. The real question is what is the proper force applied, and to where, to regain our freedoms as thinking people.

1angrywhite • 5 years ago

How about forcing Leftists to teach math and go a little lighter on the slavery.

Rick Shonsite • 5 years ago

How about just requiring leftists to tell the truth? That will run them off entirely since liberals are incapable of telling the truth.

NowYouKnow • 5 years ago

We know leftist bias when we see it. Why piss off half of your potential customers?

Rick Shonsite • 5 years ago

Bias is subtle. It's not bias. It's propaganda.

FreeMind USMC • 5 years ago

Very unscientific but surely convenient for you. How many articles were put out by each outlet with word Trump in their AdWords? Would need results per story created. Do you live in a region dominated by the left? Then check again in a GOP dominated region in South.

Try search without a user signed in. Search engines give customized results based on what you have seen before. Part of the problem pushing the left and right into their radical vacuum bubbles. My search and hard core rightly coworker search very different, as was search from New chrome user not signed in.

My search in South has plenty right wing sites in first 2 pages. Newsbuster garbage was 3rd on my 1st page. Yuck

Have you checked blue feed red feed from WSJ? Plenty of snake oil profiteers exploiting both sides. :(

Steve S. • 5 years ago

Wow, someone here who actually uunderstands search engines. Most don't even know what SERP means. Trump probably thinks it's what goes on pancakes and should be capitalized because it's yummy.

Jahmusic • 5 years ago

Try other search engines like Bing, and compare to Google to see if you get the same results,

jimvancise • 5 years ago

When 96% of what you do is either illegal, immoral or just plain stupid, you'll get that sort of results. If 'ya want good results, do something worthwhile for a change!

Steve S. • 5 years ago

Exactly.

donqpublic • 5 years ago

Your Google is not a crook. Your Google did not have sex with that woman. There are no Google scandals; your Google is scandal free. That woman lied about your Google. Humans are not perfect. 96 percent of all humans report satisfying relationships with their personal Google. Your Google is here to help you find love. Humans love Google.

John Wilson • 5 years ago

Are you a willing henchman of totalitarianism, or a useful idiot? There is no other option.

donqpublic • 5 years ago

I see you don't do parody, satire, irony, and sarcasm; there are always alternatives.

Rick Shonsite • 5 years ago

Maybe he does. That was just really bad parody, satire, irony or sarcasm - whatever it was you were attempting.

donqpublic • 5 years ago

Nixon: your president is not a crook. Clinton: I did not have sex with that woman. Barack: there was no scandals. You're right; Google would do the satire and parody so much batter.

Rick Shonsite • 5 years ago

I don't know how google would do it. That's not the issue. The issue is that the way you do it sucks.

donqpublic • 5 years ago

Great. Thank You. You get my five star sensitivity award.

John Wilson • 5 years ago

I hope that was satire, hard to get with text.

Jeff Extreme • 5 years ago

This is complete BS. Fox News, at minimum, is always part of the first few results. Always.

Some people are really incapable of understanding how computer algorithms work and it's sad to see.

John Wilson • 5 years ago

You think Fox is conservative, LOL. Bet you also believe Republicans and Democrats aren't on the same team, too. I remember what it was like to be as unaware as you.

fedup • 5 years ago

Google and the rest of the leftist social media sites are run by third world people that do not understand or respect freedom of speech. Just one more reason not to allow h1-bs in to steal jobs at cut rates. And another reason not to let them enter and become citizens that vote for more third world policy like they have at home in exchange for freebies.

What exactly do you mean by "third world people?" It's really astonishing how otherwise intelligent people can be so misled by conspiracies and misinformation.
