Google Decides What Is Fact In New Search Results Ranking System
Daily Caller ^ | 3/2/15 | Giuseppe Macri

The world’s largest search engine is setting itself up to become the global arbiter of truth online.

People originally went online to alternative news because they no longer trusted the so called, "Main Street Media" facts. Google was a great search engine for doing the research.

Now some Control Freaks at Google want a leftist couple from Snopes to decide what is fact and not their Users.

For the record Snopes is a leftist couple that lives in an Apartment complex with their cat. They have no professional background in investigation whatsoever. They just use Google to do all their research.

Since Google is betraying the very people that made them big. I decided to leave and deleted my account. Hope you do the same.

Here is a picture of the couple that Google says will be deciding what is fact.

That’s their response to government intrusion and oversight

Do a Google search for the terms “Holocene Optimum,” “Younger Dryas” or “Pleistocene Glaciation.” All you get are the politically correct “global warming” websites. You really have to dig to get to an objective one.

Google already promotes their “truth.”

Here’s to hoping this becomes general knowledge, Google becomes known as untrustworthy and biased,

and they take a major financial hit for it.

It’s just a still photo, but I can still smell the herbal tea and hear the Indigo Girls music playing in the background.

The Knowledge Vault is an automated database that identifies “facts the web unanimously agrees on,”...

...“Informally, we define the trustworthiness or accuracy of a web source as the probability that it contains the correct value for a fact (such as Barack Obama’s nationality), assuming that it mentions any value for that fact,” Google researchers wrote...


Are they going by “consensus” or the Obama Fight The Smears propaganda that said he was a LIFELONG Christian?

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/why-are-americans-confused-about-obamas-religion/article/2560534

At the same time, the number of Pew respondents who say Obama is a Christian — in Dreams From My Father, he describes his conversion to Christianity under the tutelage of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — has declined from 51 percent in October 2008 to 34 percent now. And the number of people who say they don't know Obama's religion is growing, from 32 percent back then to 43 percent today.

I can search the FR site using Google (site:...) and since last year a number of the links send me to the SOURCE articles referenced by FR rather than the FR thread itself.

The FR thread is listed but clicking the link goes to the referenced link the FR thread.

Something Google must’ve done on behalf of the “media”.

You can use other FR page specific terms if you want to be sure to get the link to the FR thread and not the source article.

Talk about dangerous. Google “deciding” on what constitutes facts is backdoor censorship.

I thought that’s what they’ve doing all along.

To beat the gov. to the belligerent punch line? I don’t like Google.

Just part of the larger nudge scheme being played out over the last century via the media, government schools and politicos.

Bing uses Google to search. It’s turtles all the way down.

Bing is Microsoft. Bing and Google do not coordinate to my knowledge. They are deadly enemies in the market.

We need a Fox news version of a search engine. It wouldn’t be conservative, but it would at least attempt to give both sides.
