One of President Donald Trump’s major focuses has been rooting out fraud across taxpayer-funded public services. Through their White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Co-chairs Vice President JD Vance and Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson have touted unprecedented efforts to expose and crack down on massive instances of fraud since February 2026.
Yet, despite the national implications and scope of Trump, Vance and Ferguson’s campaign against fraud, Google News implemented a months-long blackout of coverage of their key actions and accomplishments in its morning feed. Put into practice, the blackout means that millions of active Google News users are effectively kept in the dark about the White House’s actions against fraud.
The Trump administration has taken at least 51 key actions and victories against fraud since February, ranging from massive healthcare fraud takedowns to the suspension of billions of dollars in government funding. Yet, Google News featured none of them in its top 20 morning listings.
Media Research Center President David Bozell criticized the aggressive blackout during an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner on Thursday morning.
“Between February and August, major news outlets published more than 257 stories on these multi-billion-dollar crackdowns. Yet not one appeared in Google News’ top morning feed. That’s 257 stories available to Google and 257 stories its users never saw there.”
Bozell added: “A 257-to-0 blackout isn’t a minor editorial quirk. Google owes its users an explanation for how a news platform with this much power managed to miss every single one.”
MRC’s Findings:
- Google News featured none of the 51 key anti-fraud actions and victories among the headlines in its top 20 listings promoted each morning, leaving news of the Trump administration’s anti-fraud efforts absent from its feed.
- The 51 key events included the largest healthcare fraud takedown in history, the suspension of billions of dollars in Medicaid and healthcare funding and the removal of more than 1,000 California hospices from Medicare.
- Google News’ complete blackout appears intentional, as the news aggregator had plenty of coverage to choose from, including no fewer than 257 total stories, with at least 46 from the top 10 national and international outlets it repeatedly promotes, and an additional 204 from other AllSides-rated left-leaning, right-leaning, center and unrated outlets.
Inside Google News’ Blockade of the Trump Administration’s Anti-Fraud Efforts
MRC reviewed the top 20 stories Google News promoted in its morning feed from Feb. 25 through Aug. 31, 2026, comparing those listings with 51 key anti-fraud actions and victories. The White House identified the 51 events in an Aug. 6 release, covering key task force actions and accomplishments from Feb. 25 through Aug. 4.
Despite months of task force activity, Google News featured none of the 51 key actions and victories in its top 20 morning listings.
Google News’ effective blockade of key White House anti-fraud actions and victories was significant, particularly as the task force has led what it touts as the largest healthcare fraud takedown in the nation’s history. Through its actions, the task force suspended billions of dollars in Medicaid and healthcare funding, removed more than 1,000 California hospices from Medicare, prosecuted hundreds of individuals and more. Yet none of those actions made the top 20 morning feed on Google News.
What Google News Is Blocking Its Users from Seeing
On its website, the White House said its Task Force to Eliminate Fraud has uncovered “nearly $230 billion” in fraud, blocked $56 billion in alleged fraudulent payments from reaching alleged criminals, and enforced more than $55 billion through federal indictments, settlements, and civil penalties.
Some of the 51 key events include unprecedented enforcement measures, including what has been called the largest health care fraud takedown in history, the “highest loss amount ever charged in a Medicaid case” in Minnesota and “the largest autism fraud scheme ever prosecuted” in the state.....SNIP

Propaganda is not always the lies that are published for political influence. It is also the truth that is not published for political purposes.
Anybody who knows the real truth knows Google is tilted towards the enemy. For political news I use the Russian search engine Yandex to compare one liar with another. (I created this King Joffery meme before Elon bought Twitter)
Thanks for the info about Yandex. I really thought it was a Chinese company. Shows how much I know.
There was a book by de Borchgrave called The Spike written in 1980 about the Soviets doing this very thing.
Very good meme.
Wow, a 257-to-zero blackout. Astonishing.
Both Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet and Google co-founder Sergey Brin both attended the White House state dinner President Trump hosted for Xi Jinping on September 24, 2026. Too bad there wasn’t time for President Trump to upbraid them for “No News” instead of “Fake News.”
Google News implemented a months-long blackout of coverage of their key actions and accomplishments by Trump.
Talk about a bigger CNN.
Bump
‘The Trump administration and Justice Department shifted focus toward smaller-scale program fraud (such as SNAP/food stamps), while watchdogs and investigative reports noted declines or closures in certain high-profile white-collar and procurement fraud investigations” Google Gemini AI.
This type of coverage is true and from more than just Google.
Trump is right to prosecute the small cases. But the big savings are in the white collar crime.
Deloitte is the single biggest FRAUD. Deloitte IES Integrated Eligibility System is the single biggest Welfare FRAUD. Deloitte IES enrolls and manages eligibility of people on Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, WIC, TANF, Sec8, LIHEAP, etc in 25 states plus more states where it is not “Integrated”. The 25 stats are all the big states, both Red and Blue: CA TX FL GA IL WI MI PA NY etc.
Deloitte IES has known dead eligible for welfare.
Deloitte IES has known duplicates eligible for welfare.
Deloitte IES address system is an unprofessional mess.
Deloitte IES DEI is a waste of time.
Deloitte IES has other unprofessional aspects to its design and development.
Deloitte IES was designed in 2013-14 to respond to the massive increase in size and complexity of welfare under Obama.
Deloitte is also the #1 abuser of H1b. Many Deloitte H1b do not understand US or State law and custom. Many Deloitte H1b are not competent in IT. But they have value to Deloitte as they are in no position to be whistleblowers.
(Note: I am not against all H1b. I have worked beside both very competent and very incompetent H1b. I have no problem with the honest, competent H1b.)
