Well, looky here: Google's biased algorithm hides Trump assassination attempt search results
Twitchy.com ^ | 7/28/2024 | Amy Curtis

Google has done stuff like this before -- whether the Google illustration willfully ignores holidays like Easter or celebrating Rachel Carson (who prompted a ban on DDT that's cost tens of millions of Africans their lives), or prioritizes the World Cup over Flag Day.

There was a time the Left hated big corporations. That lasted precisely until the moment the Left realized they could align with big corporations to circumvent the pesky Constitution and use corporations to consolidate political power.

Which is why Google can do things like this:

This writer did the same search for herself, and came up with the same results.

Did any of us believe the searches were not guided for the left’s benefit ?

— Bleu Cheque (@VERBAL_CHANCLA) July 28, 2024

Not if we've been paying attention.

Does Elon need to come up with a search engine as well? 🙄

— Doctor Jack (@DoctorJack16) July 28, 2024

The Left will flip out if he does.

Google trends shows that exact phrase is absolutely being searched, so why I autocomplete ignoring it? pic.twitter.com/pVneEESZkS

We all know why.

X should develop its own search system. it’s a shame google did this.

— lxx (📜, ⚡️) (@luoxiaxia) July 28, 2024

It's who they are.

Tech trying to control the information again.

I just tried this and it’s not autocompleting for me either. https://t.co/Q8Q2xfP2fU

Like this writer said, same thing happened to her.

Incredible. We've reached levels of regime propaganda that would shame the lowest form of communist kakocracy. https://t.co/5o0rJYxhFI

Even Pravda is cringing.

Google is a key participant in Democrat efforts to rig and steal another election. https://t.co/7fMCEXSqZU

Hard to see it any other way.

Hopefully searchgpt ends google, truly one of The worst companies in our society, they think they can dictate narratives along with Facebook https://t.co/sj9XPU2AZN

They've become awful.

They sure are.

Prediction: if you thought Institutional distrust was bad, just wait till the same mistakes are fully incubated in Tech.

“We don’t fully understand how our (proprietary) algorithm works” only works for those who haven’t grown up with them.

Next Gen won’t be so forgiving. https://t.co/oGyWEzeQlD

Yep.

Everything that comes through information gatekeepers is a curated narrative. https://t.co/jBhiUsQxgR

— Trey Isaac (@seehearspeaknow) July 28, 2024

It sure is.

They're fine with that.

Election interference https://t.co/8mlJ6DtUeB

— QCMom (@tifmcclure) July 28, 2024

Easy to make an argument in favor of that. They really, really want the news about the attempted Trump assasination to go away.

W. in T. absolute F. https://t.co/AJeE7gUj0R

Our question exactly.

WTF.

Do better, Google.

For example:

On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump, a former president of the United States and the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt while addressing a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. Wikipedia Start date: July 13, 2024

I tried the specific search in article: assassination attempt on tr. I got Truman after typing assassination. Trump’s name never came up, while I continued typing, ‘attempt Tr.’ WTF? Searching ‘Trump assassination attempt’ works. Amy Curtis should have tried that for comparison.

the point is, it doesn’t autofill in the text as you type the query. Its pretty blatant.

.
They all signed up to protect Hunter Biden - and falsely link Trump to Russia, Russia, Russia.

The people that don’t know about Google in 2024 will always and forever deny the obvious truth.

I tried the search "trump assassination attempt", and EVERY SINGLE HIT was to a left-leaning source. Nothing from right-leaning sources. It wasn't until page 3 that I saw a New York Post article.

Can you say "bias"? I knew you could...

The first post shows screen images of Google providing search results for the assassination attempt on Truman, but no results for Trump.

1. Assassination attempt on t

2. Assassination attempt on tr

3. Assassination attempt on tru

4. Assassination attempt on trum

The X.Com account el gato malo @boriquagato said he tried other search engines (brave, duck duck go, Luxxle) and all ignored the Trump assassination.

Another post by el gato malo @boriquagato says the fact that the MSM hid the word 'assassination' from their titles and articles may have contributed to the problem with search results. That account provided examples of the MSM hiding the assassination from the public.

I did the experiment as well. On Yandex ‘Assassination attempt’ brings up a whole page of Trump results.

Google can sway any congressional election by 3 points, with page rank alone. That is why we have have the H1B visa program that is destroying thousands of American families.

You don't need AI for that sort of thing.

Meanwhile, there really are other search engines.

AI will conclude all humans are woke virtue signaling hypocrites and useless eaters.

The next step will be kinda obvious.

Thank you greatly for these detailed search engine suppressions of information. Only word I know to describe this is Orwellian. Anyone have other suggestions? Including ones from Orwell’s ‘1984.’
