News that Chicago police charged Jussie Smollett with staging a brutal attack on himself was covered on every network and in every major newspaper, but Google is hiding searches of it from its platform due to concerns of "potentially disparaging" the liberal actor.
A review of Google's autocomplete function on searches of Smollett found no references to anything regarding the hate crime, even though the company's own data show it is the only reason his name was ever searched.
The top suggested searches for Smollett included Empire (a show he no longer has a role in), Mighty Ducks (a nearly three-decade old movie he had a small role in as a child), and his wife (who doesn't exist), the Free Beacon found.
Even with a nudge—adding the letter "H" to indicate an interest in the Smollett "hate crime" or "hoax"—the top suggestions were inquiries into his height and ties to Hawaii.

Where is Jussy Smollet LIAR, Jussie Smollet BIGOT, Jussie Smollet wannabe FELON?
Apparently I am using a different Google than the folks over at the Beacon.
The tech media is no longer trying to disguise its partisanship.
Another good reason to kick Google to the curb for default searches and use DuckDuckGo or Bing.
Dunno about that. The first story I just found was “’Empire’ co-creator Lee Daniels ‘beyond embarrassed’ by the Jussie Smollett scandal.”
There are other non-screening web sites to do searches, don’t need or ever use Google.
Use https://gibiru.com/ for unscreened AND anonymous searches.
Okay - loaded it. Will give it a try.
For example, here are some of the top results in a search for Jussie Smollet using giburu.

Much better.
The first two I get are:

Judge rules to unseal court records in Jussie Smollett case
It may depend on one’s search history.
“Jussie Smollet fake” got me no auto-complete suggestions at Google, but searching anyway pulled up lots of the fake story stuff.
Jussie...you can run, but you can’t hide.

Small potatoes, Google just testified to Congress to not having a smidgen of censorship.
Then their CEO not only admits they censor, but have plans to increase it.
Even Wikipedia has redacted his given name.
Why does no one use his given (first) name?
