I tried searching 3 conservative cites [including Breitbart, Freerepublic] and on the right side of the page, Google provide two tabs, one of which contains a review of content. Those 3 conservative cites had reviews stating as fact that their content was false. I then tried searching Huffington Post, Politico and The New Republic. Those websites did not have content that had been reviewed. For those interested, Google provides about 5 reviews of Freerepublic (via Poltifact, Snopes, Factcheck.org) content and those 3 agencies state that all 5 reviews contain false content. Bias much? Here's the FR link - look to the right and click on the "Reviewed Claims" tab. https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&ei=gz8SWsKMLtGAjwPT0r7AAw&q=freerepublic.com&oq=freerepublic.com&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l3j0i10k1j0l3j0i10k1j0i30k1l2.2889.5192.0.5397.16.16.0.0.0.0.158.1298.7j6.13.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..3.13.1295...0i131i67k1j0i131k1j0i67k1j0i46i67k1j46i67k1j0i131i10k1.0.ppqxzLiElzc

You could skip the video and try searching Freerepublic and look to the right of the google results. Click on the Reviewed Content tab. Try various news outlets just leave off the .com.

In a related article out earlier this year, I see that Google plans to return search results based on quality and that it hired reviewers to determine accuracy. SO I guess this OP details how Google plans to demote FR and other concervative content - rate it down and then base the search algorithm on the ratings. Here’s the related article:

YouTube is using multiple layers of censorship from outright banning to making it nearly impossible to get to a video. That is aside from “you can post it but you won’t make money” from it tactic they’re using against anyone to the right of the far left.
When Dennis Prager’s videos with liberal speakers on matters of free speech and pro-Israel content can be taken down as “hate speech”, nothing is safe.

Hey dragnet2 - I hear ya

The key points are made near the beginning. But you don’t really have to listen to the video if you don’t want.

Google just added an analysis of websites using liberal “fact-checkers”.

Go to google, enter Brietbart or Free Republic and look over to the right and see what they have added.

Blatant liberal bias on a search engine.

Dennis Prager’s videos are a perfect example. Prager U has amazing high quality content, short videos from experts and intelligent people dealing in all subjects, some controversial and some not. They have one new one from Michael Medved on the first Thanksgiving. You can see them all at the Pergsr website, but YouTube keeps blocking them as if they re porn or hate speech. And lefty speech is always ok.

Lefty organizations with political views diametrically opposed to our beliefs think conservatives are wrong.
Got it.

Ermmm...I think it’s more about Google proudly utilizing lefty organizations to formally eliminate conservative content from search results. But that’s just me.

Yepper. Gave the Google info hogging search engine long ago.

https://www.startpage.com/ uses Googles basic engine without all the gathering of info. Just returns a nice clean list of sites to choose from.

It also provides images, videos, and has an advanced search engine to drill down if needed.

I just Googled Breitbart & FR and got NO such tabs. On the right-hand side was a simple box of facts (date begun;key people; editors) Same for FR. NO ‘review of content’.

I added ‘reviewed claims’ to the search box and there was no such listing and the right-hand side was empty.

I have the latest Firefox update and an updated Win10.
