Use any search engine and search: American scientists and American inventors and see what you get.

Yes, Ive noticed bias many times. Leftist sources on any controversial topic get promoted. More popupar non Leftist sources get buried.

I’ve used google. It is extremely biased. Search for

blacks killing cops

you’ll see that it changes it to cops killing blacks.

Quit using Google except when you absolutely have to. They are the enemy, as they’ve amply revealed, and their search results stink.

Duck should be your default search engine on your PCs and phones.

I had exactly the same experience trying to do that same search.

I noticed in mid-July 2008, as I watched in mounting horror while google systematically and deliberately ‘disappeared’ over half a million hits on image searches for ‘obama birth certificate’.

Fahrenheit 404: google doesn’t need to burn books, they just edit the inconvenient facts out of the search results...

It5 isn’t just on search issues. These days Google returns very poor quality results and mostly ignores your search terms except I tr mist general sense.

Wikipedia too.

I’d have to go search for screen grabs I took some time ago about Earth Day.

They’ve scrubbed Ira Einhorn, they’ve scrubbed the list of ridiculous predictions from the 70’s.

Turns out at least one of those scrubs is by an “official” wikipedist (now retired), but when you look them up, you find they regularly attended Wikipedia conferences where apparently PC is king.

I particularly recall one conference being touted as “friendly”, IOW, no contrarians.

Yes.

“Google” ANY political subject and the only “hits” support the leftist narrative of the globalist freaks who run Google.
Dollars to donuts Soros money and Red Chinese money grease this inequity.

I’ve clicked on several DuckDuck search results and they wouldn’t go there, nothing happened when clicking on them. Forgot which ones they were but strange.

Yes, it’s harder to get real, specific information.

For Google use Advanced Search:

https://www.google.com/advanced_search

Putting “blacks killing cops” in the ‘this exact word or phrase:’ box yields very different results than the default search.

https://www.google.com/search?as_q=&as_epq=blacks+killing+cops&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights=

And use the filters, All, Videos, News, etc, and the Tools, which allows filtering by date. Use the Custom Range to cut off the most recent fake news.

These don’t work exactly, but results are closer to what they used to be.

Good grief both bing and google came up with the same result. Black American came up first for the first page.

Also searched: Scientists in America and still black came up first.

I searched: “White American scientists and American inventors” and it came up with black first. I guess I would have to go to the 100th page to get White....

It's not a stupid question and it illustrates everything that is wrong with Dark Tech (Gargoyle, FacePlant, Twits, Instamoron).

They cannot and should not be relied upon. MisTrust and verify.

GOOGLE TIPS for luddites and me

Yes jjotto, the advanced search is excellent: https://www.google.com/advanced_search

I prefer manual direction using tips:

I've stated before my difficulties searching for “Ted Cruz” on google, which is even more humorous now that he's ‘challenged’ in the Senate. Drain The Swamp.

Google is what it is, but please avail yourself of the simple search functions and search approaches to get your best results.
Here is what you seek:
https://www.lifewire.com/advanced-google-search-3482174

Don't freak out that there are “20 things” in the list, you'll only use 2 or 3, but learn those, and be a power searcher.
What you are experiencing, having lived 1/2 century or longer, is referred to as ‘accelerating change’. Embrace it.

Learn the advanced google search methods here, ( they're not advanced, unless you've never used them ); be at peace.

example a: For more accurate results, If you must have the phrase, surround it in dbl quotes:
“American scientists”
( Different results, and yes, you'll be amused here as well)

example b: site:(search only ONE website)
site:scientificamerican.com American scientist Texas
site:ford.com ranger truck 2019

example c:
sailing OR boating
either the word sailing or the word boating

Also, search to get NOT a result compendium, but a TARGETED response: such as:
Wini “American scientists” (very good, large list, NOT the only LIST provided)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_scientists#S
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_inventions
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_inventions_(before_1890)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_inventions_(after_1991)
enough.

Google is a ‘forward’ search engine, scanning billions of web pages,
Think of it as target data you have not found, and use google as the tool to find it. Google does not yet use FULLY functional AI
and cannot read your mind and should not read your socioeconomic status. We must direct our searches.
And we FREPPERS are eminently and fully capable.

As with buying cars and things: let the buyer (searcher) beware.

If your engaged, remember to look up search tips again in 6 months, they will expand, get better, and so will humanity;
as long as the “library of everything” is protected and supported in love and compassion.

Recommendation: it's now a digital world; WRITE it down for your ancestors, the struggle, and it will persist digitally for a millennia. truth.
We are the first generation that don't have to PUBLISH or BE FAMOUS to persist in history for our families.

Voluntary Disclosure: I own google stock, but rail against their perceived and ‘directed’ censorship/twist on things; so obvious.

What we conclude is that the MSM doesn't want to acknowledge this is a homosexual problem, more than a child predator problem.

It would be easy to stop and prosecute the relatively small number of priests abusing minor girls, if there were not the overarching problem of active homosexual clergy.

Yes. John MacArthur issued a statement on "social justice" and the church today (e.g. What does the Bible say about people being "victims"?) Not surprising, a number of liberal churches don't like this document.

It is apparent Google doesn't like his viewpoint either. When we Googled what MacArthur stated to find what the uproar was all about, all we received were articles condemning John MacArthur's view. We spent a lot of time and effort trying to track down what exactly he said-not what liberal theologians had to say about it. That should tell you MacArthur is spot on and showed the bias of Google.
