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.
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.
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.
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.
Look at the ones who have a monopoly of the media. There is your answer.
Sinclair Broadcasting - 85% share of U.S. media market
Far right ownership.
The fact that this article is the first thing to come up for the Google search "Is google biased" is kind of ironic.
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.
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.
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?
Been at it for a century, yes.
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
Did u try any other search engines to see if there was any difference?
darn. so unfair to Donald trump. how could google do this. we as good conservatives must rise up and defeat google
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.
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.
That received much acclaim.
They’re not “Liberal Media Outlets” - they’re REAL media outlets.
There is nothing liberal or liberating about so called Liberals
That's correct. Fiction is indeed presented through a form of media.
But they aren't journalists.
Oh yes, of course they are!
Well it's obvious who Google voted for.....sad and scary at the same time.
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.
How about forcing Leftists to teach math and go a little lighter on the slavery.
How about just requiring leftists to tell the truth? That will run them off entirely since liberals are incapable of telling the truth.
We know leftist bias when we see it. Why piss off half of your potential customers?
Bias is subtle. It's not bias. It's propaganda.
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. :(

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.
Try other search engines like Bing, and compare to Google to see if you get the same results,
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!
Exactly.
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.
Are you a willing henchman of totalitarianism, or a useful idiot? There is no other option.
I see you don't do parody, satire, irony, and sarcasm; there are always alternatives.
Maybe he does. That was just really bad parody, satire, irony or sarcasm - whatever it was you were attempting.
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.
I don't know how google would do it. That's not the issue. The issue is that the way you do it sucks.
Great. Thank You. You get my five star sensitivity award.
I hope that was satire, hard to get with text.
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.
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.
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.
Finally I can see the original comment. I'm QUOTING HERE

These are not my words.
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!
