Google Manipulated, Influenced Midterm Elections, Cost Republicans Seats: Study

36

It’s why they are crippling us in the information battle-space. The misinformed cannot make informed choices. Back when television was the only truly mass media medium, all political views were given equal time. The moronnial generation, on the other hand, seeks impose one view, one totalitarian view and destroy anyone who dissents — a throwback to the Hitler youth.

It is any wonder that Google abandoned its founding mission statement, “Don’t be evil” from its Code of Conduct?

Case in point: Morons marching:

Google Influenced Midterm Elections, May Have Cost Republicans Seats: Study

by Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge, March 23, 2019:

New research reveals that Google built biases into its search results that influenced the 2018 midterm elections – possibly costing Republicans three congressional districts.

First things first – the study was conducted by Dr. Robert Epstein – a San Diego-based Harvard Ph.D. who founded the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies. He’s also a Senior Research Psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology (AIBRT), a UCSD visiting scholar, and served as editor-in-chief of Psychology Today. 

He also supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 (just like Google!).

Down to the findings: 

Epstein and AIBRT analyzed Google searches linked to three highly competitive southern California congressional races in which Democrats won, and found that Google’s “clear democrat bias” may have flipped the seats away from Republican candidates. According to the study, at least 35,455 undecided voters within the three California districts may have been persuaded to vote Democrat due to the biased Google search results.

Epstein says that in the days leading up to the 2018 midterms, he was able to preserve “more than 47,000 election-related searches on Google, Bing, and Yahoo, along with the nearly 400,000 web pages to which the search results linked.”

Analysis of this data showed a clear pro-Democrat bias in election-related Google search results as compared to competing search engines. Users performing Google searches related to the three congressional races the study focused on were significantly more likely to see pro-Democrat stories and links at the top of their results.

As Epstein’s previous studies have shown, this can have a huge impact on the decisions of undecided voters, who often assume that their search results are unbiased. Epstein has called this the Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME). –Breitbart

Google executives and Democrats have disputed Epstein’s findings, apparently unaware that we can simply google documented instances of the Silicon Valley search giant’s overt bias surrounding elections, their ability to influence them, and their other efforts to hobble conservatives.

“These are new forms of manipulation people can’t see,” said Epstein, who added that technology “can have an enormous impact on voters who are undecided. … People have no awareness the influence is being exerted.”

Reporting extensively on the work of Epstein is Breitbart News‘ senior tech reporter, Allum Bokhari, who notes that the latest findings “are based on modest assumptions, such as the assumption that voters conduct one election-related search per week.” In other words, the bias could be much more pronounced in reality.

It’s disgusting. And what did the cowardly, irrelevant, worthless and gutless Congressional Republicans do to break up these hi tech monopolies, Absolutely nothing. They knew about as it was happening. A record number of GOPers retired. We handed Congress to the DEMS.

If the Republican Senate had the brains and cojones to investigate, I would not be saying this; however, since the Republican Senate is cowardly and — with the exception of Ted Cruz — not smart enough to understand the issues, I feel I must call for this drastic action.

From my perspective this report/study leaves me wondering and concerned that we have an electorate that no longer can separate fact from fiction. I appreciate that a persons personal history and bias’s will impact on who that person decides to vote for or against, but if the independent non-biased out there are falling into the trap of being sucked in by fallacious propaganda, I am mortified. Right now, I see the Democratic Party as being without any cogent leadership, mired down by people within there community who bring such extreme bias to their thinking process, that they will allow prejudice, that is un-American, to influence how they think and what they say. I fear for this country.

Most political messages are propagandist in nature and we are all susceptible to being swayed by it. The problem now is that Google (and Facbook/Twitter) have their hand on the scale. The conservative side (also propaganda) never appears in the search results. Right now, big tech, unlike radio & TV stations, have no legal requirement to provide equal time and space to candidates. This is unprecedented. Historically, large corporations were careful not to exhibit obvious political bias. They would hedge their bets by donating to both candidates. But that has changed. Big tech and the major news outlets (CNN, NBC, CBS, Reuters, BBC etc) have become so blatantly left biased, it’s dangerous. This is an untenable situation. The only short-term response to this bias is to engage in a rolling boycott of their top 20 advertisers.

And they don’t even try to hide it. Everyone on those channels repeat the same exact thing show after show. They sound like a bunch of parrots saying exactly what the higher ups will let them say. They even lead off their shows with the exact same wording. Talk about one sided monotonous BS.

I just go back to the DNC. At the end of the last night Hillary gave her speech and the alleged reporters/ analysts blitzed and Borgia if CNN were in a spell. CNN showed at conclusion of speech Borgia and Blitzer clapping and dancing in place holding champagne with a big smile. You did not have to read their mind to know they were thinking Hillary has this in the bag.

Republicans are still weak as even this morning Maxine AKA the female James Brown waters wanted Trump impeached. She was on messNBC with fudge in a dress jOy Reid he so wants Trump in Jail. However, can the republicans see some democrats are locked up and Hillary even OBama criminality looked into. Republicans talk a lot but as a conservative Republican I see little action.

Breitbart put on a town hall and this guy explained it all. That was about a year ago and he is a self proclaimed liberal, but did this with no attempt at bias, just the facts. Ann Coulter was there too, and 2 others from Breitbart were also on the stage. He stole the show with his detailing of the facts. Good man. Well researched. We didn’t do anything about this and it looks like no one wants to do anything about it but complain. Yah, that’ll work.

I see in the first video I see only women, Negroes, and the fatherless MORONS I have been warning you about. Most women participate in these to look for a husband.

Google should be known now as a Demoncrap leftist communist platform making them useless for news or as a search engine. Yahoo also.

Might as well be called RUSSIAN SEARCH ENGINE – Please use. Reliable.

Yeah, right.

Our votes no longer count. Google isn’t the only nefarious force trying to destroy the republic. Google also helped Obama overthrow Libya. They dropped propaganda leaflets over the country to turn citizens against their moderate leader, Muammar Gaddafi. After he was ousted, terrorists took control of the country, as per the Obama plan.

While his research and his results may be good … who cares?

Anyone with a functioning brain cell knows the media is biased. And since we lost 8 congressional seats in Mexifornicatioinzuela due to … voter fraud … including a few where the Demokkkrats kept voting and voting and voting until they won … I hardly think these results mean more than the voter fraud.

What this story means – at least at face value – is that one Dem has admitted that the only weapon we have is the truth. And it’s a back handed admission at that because it merely implies a bias towards the Demokkkrats’ ‘Big Lie’ narrative and away from the Republican’s ‘truth.’ None of it will reach the drones.

What the drones need is unfettered exposure to the facts that falsifies the Big Lies told by their Overlords and Masters.

They need to know that Demokkkratic policies create death, rape, division, crime, blight, ignorance, illiteracy, drug addiction, hopelessness, homelessness, violence on the streets, violence in our institutions, domestic violence, and more violence.

They need to know that the reason people like me will NEVER give in – is because their hateful, racist, bigoted, and violent ideology has COST LIVES. Lives I saw, lives I see, and lives yet to come.

They can convince my illegal peasant neighbors that all their woes are the fault of my skin color and my nation … but that doesn’t make it true. A few illegals can make a better life for themselves here, but that life is temporary – it will be shattered as thoroughly as the dreams of the White Democrat Unionists in Detroit – when the Demokkkrats decide its time to kill their goose and steal whatever they have.

The white racist drones who vote Demokkkrat need to know this before they vote for more damage and destruction in our poor communities – especially the so-called minority ones.

I know a simple way to defeat Google search-engine bias: GO TO THE TENTH PAGE, AT LEAST. Their “algorithm” stacks all the pro-Left connections on the first five pages. After that you can start to find connections to all the other articles from other sources that just might have different information.

Better yet, don’t use Google for your searches, or Bing, which is the same basic scheme with a Microsoft label.
Check out Duck Duck Go, they have a completely different business model than the FAANG monolith.

The FAANG hegemony won’t be dissuaded from their political machinations until they are brought to heel by the FEC for wholesale violation of Campaign Finance Law.
It won’t be long before we have ~proof~ of their algorithms providing in kind donations to favored candidates. These in kind donations have not been reported by any party involved. With the high speed automation employed by these companies, they can rack up campaign finance violations at the rate of thousands a second.
