Google censoring D’Souza movie
Young Conservative ^ | 7-8-14 | Joshua Riddle

Posted on 07/08/2014 9:22:55 AM PDT by Paul46360

"I just Googled “America showtimes” and got one hit towards the bottom which redirects you to a different site that makes you have to click another couple times before finding showtimes. For pretty much every other single movie you google the title and showtimes and the first hit is showtimes at the theaters nearest you."

Google—part of the leftist censorship cabal along with Costco.

It gave me the website for the movie:
http://www.americathemovie.com/showtimes/
as my second result. But I have googled the movie before so maybe that skews the result.

I may be confusing with Yahoo, but I thought companies could pay Google to have their website and product bumped to the top of relevant searches.

If so, it’s entirely possible that D’Sousa or his producers/marketers didn’t pay the (extortion) fee to have that happen for America.

You don’t think you get the right to take over Moffett field for nothing, do you?

Search on what it seems to be known as... “America the movie” to get results.

‘it’s entirely possible that D’Sousa or his producers/marketers didn’t pay the (extortion) fee to have that happen for America.’

The promotion budget for this film seems to be next to nothing. It is being done by word of mouth on some talk radio programs. This film will bomb unless there is a real grassroots push.

6th result for me when I googled “America movie showtimes”. Most of the higher results were for the more popular movie, “Captain America: Winter Soldier”, so I think that is the culprit. Two movies have the word in the title, and most people are searching for the summer blockbuster, not the documentary, so that is what the search engine will return first.

Perhaps in 6 months or a year, buying it for $9.99 and loaning it to Liberal of Centrist neighbors will do more good given by that time the Fubaring will have continued and they may be closer to waking up as it may have finally effected them...

Google tracks your searches, try Duckduckgo.com.

I use bing for my search engine (I won’t use google). I was curious so entered America the movie and the 1st several that came up were about the movie or Dinesh.

Bing always has great holiday-appropriate pictures, too, which I appreciate.

Google did that to HILLARY! UNCENSORED in 2008. For three weeks it was the number one Google video. Then it disappeared from their radar.

Yup. It’s a conspiracy. And just to double check, I Googled the showtimes for the 20 top box office movies at Rotten Tomatoes and it’s even worse! Not only has Google censored America, they’ve also censored Jersey Boys, Chef, and Begin Again. Four out of twenty! 20% censorship. Something must be done!

USA is now almost identical to China.

State, media, academia control the thoughts of the populace.

Dissent is quickly stomped out by any means necessary via virulent demagoguery, NSA files, IRS, etc.
