Same with Google and duckduckgo.com, but to varying degrees they favor liberal media. Long ago I posted on how you can create your own custom search engine using Google tools, which works, but it limits how many sites you it will search. Thus I created a custom search engine https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=011383487679067898861:gug5bh6z5ol for conservative news. I have made another custom search for apologetical issues: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=011383487679067898861:d5mux31ku3h Very limited use, and there is with no guarantee for the future, but thank God for the option.
