This is how they are crippling us in the information battle-space. Google manipulates its searches so that 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?
“EXCLUSIVE: Documents Detailing Google’s ‘News Blacklist’ Show Manual Manipulation Of Special Search Results,” by J. Arthur Bloom, Daily Caller, April 9, 2019 (thanks to Wendy):

Google does manipulate its search results manually, contrary to the company’s official denials, documents obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller indicate.
Two official policies dubbed the “misrepresentation policy” and the “good neighbor policy” inform the company’s “XPA news blacklist,” which is maintained by Google’s Trust & Safety team. “T&S will be in charge of updating the blacklist as when there is a demand,” reads one of the documents shared with The Daily Caller.
“The deceptive_news domain blacklist is going to be used by many search features to filter problematic sites that violate the good neighbor and misrepresentation policies,” the policy document says.
That document reads that it was, “approved by gomes@, nayak@, haahr@ as of 8/13/2018.” Ben Gomes is Google’s head of search, who reports directly to CEO Sundar Pichai. Pandu Nayak is a Google Fellow, and Paul Haahr is a software engineer, whose bio on Google’s internal network Moma indicates that he is also involved in, “fringe ranking: not showing fake news, hate speech, conspiracy theories, or science/medical/history denial unless we’re sure that’s what the user wants.”
“The purpose of the blacklist will be to bar the sites from surfacing in any Search feature or news product. It will not cause a demotion in the organic search results or de-index them altogether,” reads the policy document obtained by the Caller. What that means is that targeted sites will not be removed from the “ten blue links” portion of search results, but the blacklist applies to most of the other search features, like “top news,” “videos” or the various sidebars that are returned as search results.
In a section of the memo entitled “Eligibility for GNP [Good Neighbor Policy] enforcement,” the types of search results impacted by the policy are described:
“If your product shows any of the following, Misrep and GNP would apply to your PA.
- Shows content from users and news publishers (percieved 3P voice). Ex: UGC, News corpus, etc.
- Outputs single answers (perceived to come from the open web). Ex: Web answers, Video answers, etc.
- Shows content owned, licensed, or edited by Google (perceived to come directly from Google). Ex: Knowledge panels, News summaries, Oneboxes, Munin carousels, etc.”
The “ten blue links” may not be impacted by the blacklist, but virtually every other kind of Google search result is. While hard numbers are not available for how much traffic is directed through the 10 links versus the other search blocks, since the latter appear so high on the results page, the impact could be significant.
“Focus on the user,” said a source at Google who described the program to the Caller. “Users need to trust any content that Google shows them, whether it’s the 10 blue links or other special search results.”
Sundar Pichai testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 11 of last year. Democratic California Rep. Zoe Lofgren asked why a search for the term “idiot” returned a photo of President Trump. In response, Pichai said, “This is working at scale, we don’t manually intervene on any particular search result.”..

Apparently, Google does not like white supremacists and their fake news sites.

This is clear from the results you get when using Google. Whenever, I try to search something of a political nature, I get mostly left wing reports. It is extremely difficult to find anything without a strong left wing bias, even when I am just looking for the text of a speech. Using other search engines give better results.

They make a ton of money of everybody else’s content without everybody else’s content it would be zero. Google now seem to own general knowledge by the looks of things. Google are criminal pushing the new socialist order.

Google is prepping for 2020. Their BIASED SEARCH engines were helpful for the 2018 midterm wins.
So they will be going in high gear to throw the 2020 election.
Outside of Devin Nunes, what is the GOP doing about this? Anything?

Google Ledger outlines how they skillfully manipulate searches to conform with Leftist dogma.
This is why Gargle no longer has the motto “don’t be evil”, they’ve become the embodiment of it.

Users MUST TRUST google to be accurate in its editing and political advocacy. ‘Fake’ news and science will be going the way of the buffalo, oh joy.
Will the clintoon be found pontificating on WhiteHouse.gov next week? It was just a bad dream, progressives. Mrs President clintoon has really been in office for lo, these many years. In all truth she was elected after serving as governor of Arkancide back in 1891, and with modern medical science (and some voodoo) her term may well last forever.

To Google, Pres. Trump is an idiot while Pam Geller is a racist while CAIR is a civil rights org & Zionist Israel is an apartheid State occupying Palestine which is no longer part of Jordan! It is all by design in their code and random numbers not to mention idiot opinions of the leftwing sort and little minds! Google sucks & makes me miss Microsoft Office!
