Trump Accuses Google of Burying Conservative News in Search Results

Surely there’s a way to study this and generate some meaningful statistics on whether Google (and others) actually bury conservative stories. Or maybe it’s already been studied, and either supported or rebutted.

What's the proof?

> Mr. Trump’s criticism appeared to be inspired by a segment last night from Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs. During the program, Mr. Dobbs highlighted an article by a conservative website, PJ Media, that said that it had conducted an unscientific study in which 96 percent of Google search results for the word “Trump” were articles from “left-leaning sites.”

Oh boy: an "unscientific study", whatever that is.

If Google can build a censored search engine for China they can do it for America.

Most likely they already have done so. It's not a secret that Google, Facebook, Twitter etc are run by leftist cucks.

Google should go all-in and just run factual blurbs about Trump's various crimes on the Chrome new tab page. I don't know why anybody puts up with the abuse from this guy.

First you have to figure out what a "consevative story" is. Then, you need to figure out why a search for "Trump News" shouldn't bury partisan hackery on both the left and the right. "News" used to / ought to mean something about a presentation of facts, not some particular party's preference for what it would like the facts to be.

You can open up a private tab in your browser, go to Google News and do a search for yourself.

Try searching for "American inventors" or "American scientists" on Google and tell me if you notice anything odd.
