It’s been some years since Google decided to bury my search results somewhere on Page 8. A lot of my articles have become outright inaccessible even when searched for in the most specific possible ways. This is a commonplace experience among conservatives.
But it’s also happening to midterm candidates in an outrageous fashion.
MRC Free Speech America has analyzed Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results for the 12 Senate races identified by RealClearPolitics as the most important to watch. Our researchers caught Google burying 10 of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites while highlighting their opponents campaign sites in organic search results. This stands in stark contrast to Bing and DuckDuckGo whose search results treated Republican and Democrat campaign websites more neutrally than Google.
I should point out, as usual, that Duck Duck Go is just Bing with anonymous results.
But there’s absolutely no reason why a political candidate’s website shouldn’t be in the top results.
Google completely hid seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in page one organic search results. Seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites did not appear on page one using Google’s organic search. Meanwhile, eight of 12 Senate Democratic Party candidate campaign websites were highlighted in the top six items in organic search results.
One of the examples here is “Blake Masters Senate Race 2022” in which his site appears below CNBC and New York Times stories about him. “Mark Kelly Senate Race 2022” has nothing except FiveThirtyEight polls ahead of his site.
Basic search results ethics are that the actual site for the thing being searched should be at the top of the results. Google routinely chooses to ignore that, but Newsbusters has evidence that there’s differing treatment in this regard which is not at all surprising. Google is however denying it.
“While we cannot respond to specific claims without seeing the research, there is no validity whatsoever to allegations of political bias on Google Search. As third parties have found, political ideology is not a factor in our search ranking systems. We don’t and would never manipulate search results, modify our products or enforce our policies in any way to promote or disadvantage any particular political ideology, viewpoint or candidate,” a Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
I can state based on my actual experience that this is not true.
Can they be sued for lying that egregiously and insultingly? We can say the lawsuit never happened after also.
They stole the 2020 and got clean away with it, so why not repeat their success.
“Election fraud” is too narrow a term to describe what happened in 2020 and is happening now. Apart from actual voter fraud, we have biased media spiking some stories and promoting others; manipulation of algorithms by social media and search engines to elevate some sites/articles and bury others; Deep State meddling like the claim the Hunter Biden PC story was “Russian disinformation”; and Zuck Bucks infiltrating local election offices to put them at the service of the Democrat Party.
One of many ways the Democrats are cheating. Thanks Daniel, for keeping us informed.
Cheating is something they perfected and are excessively proud of. Why expect anything better from a group of deranged idiots who live by the license to commit evil?
And no one is surprised in the least. Google’s old slogan, “Don’t be evil” was classic misdirection from an entity that embraces evil as its core operating system.
This kind of corruption won’t cease voluntarily. The left cheated massively to defeat Trump and deny the will of the people. They will continue to do so until they are investigated, arrested, massively fined, and sued into oblivion. We don’t need Google. They hurt far more than they help.
I got a new phone and I can’t change Evil Google from the default search engine. Shit. My last phone got stolen right out of my back pocket along with my wallet, can you believe that? Who does that? It was locked and the thief didn’t have a battery charger. I tracked it to my apartment building on Google Maps (good for something, I suppose) and the battery finally died on the 29th. I’ll find out who it was eventually.
Dirtbagocrats, vote fraud and rigging, pickpockets, Google and tranny groomers everywhere I look. America sucks now. Being forced to use Google rankles. I have to use it to get to another search engine.
I haven’t used Google in years. DuckDuckGo is almost as good. In fact, I only use youtube via a search engine, rather than an app and when I’m done, I delete all cookies.
Who uses Google?
The stripper in “My Son Hunter?” Even she learned not to, though.
Google and the other top cyber moguls hire, according to their Congressional testimony, from within or from the street. Election results from their HR hiring universe show 94% voted for Hillary in 2016. Leftist ideologues are simply incapable of understanding conservatism yet they are the ones who set the policy and write the algorithms that block or throttle conservative sites. Steve King
