Does Google Censor Unflattering Images of Hillary Clinton? - VANITY

Google ^ | unpublished | me

[Bon mots]

I often use Google's image search to find photos for various reasons. Lately, I have also taken to using AllTheWeb's image search function.

I have noticed something rather unusual. It used to be quite easy to find unflattering images of Hillary Clinton on Google's image search, but lately, they seem to have all disappeared! Funny, there are still plenty of them on www.alltheweb.com.

This is rather curious, especially since it is widely known that the people who run Google tend to lean left.

Now, on the other hand, if you want to find a nasty photo of Ann Coulter, you will find them in equal numbers on both the unbiased AllTheWeb.com or Google.

It has also become difficult to find current photos of the rapidly aging Hillary on the web. The MSM has obligingly been using older (read younger Hillary) photos of late. Hmmmm....

A couple of years ago, Google was just loaded with funny, sick and offensive Hillary photos - most of which were far from flattering. Where have they all gone? Can we trust Google?

It's only peripherally of Hillary, but it's one of my favorites, and hard to find.

Snag it while you can.

Your question infers that there are in fact flattering pictures of Madam H ...

Yeah, and it implies it, too. :)

I find that generally I can rely on the Washington Times for slyly unflattering shots of Hillary. Whenever they run a story that includes a photo of her, I would swear they pick out the most unflattering one... the mouth gaping, scowling, slumping, sneering variety. If you watch, I think you really do notice a trend. In defense of their objectivity, however, I do not think Hillary photographs well in candid shots.

[Conspiracy Guy]

That's what I was thinking too.

There are fewer demeaning photos of her out there now. Sure, they still exist, but fewer via google.

Same thing applies with pics of the WTC jumpers...I really think somebody does indeed want us to "forget".

[Holicheese]

Aren't all of Hillary's pictures "Unflattering"?

[MikefromOhio]

I dont.....

I also dont go surfing the web for pictures of Hillary unflattering or not....

[Echo Talon]

I don't want to make an unpopular statement that's gonna get me flamed around here, but Hillary is just a very pretty, sexy woman and I don't think there are any unflattering pictures of her. Many nights I dream of being Bill Clinton and ravishing Hillary.

You just made me puke.

[A CA Guy]

You are completely wrong. I just did a search of Hillary and found terribly unflattering pictures on both.

From Google:

A "Barf Alert" should be in order, I guess.

[MikefromOhio]

its cool...no biggie....

[MikefromOhio]

do you have any idea how much time intensive work it would take on the part of Google to even attempt that?

It doesnt work that way.

If she gets her teeth bleached..you'll know she's running for the WH..

I was searching, just today, for some Hillary unfriendly websites on Google (the plain old fashioned version).

After 20 pages, or so, I just gave up.

Try it yourself. Google "Hillary Clinton" and you will find only Hillary-friendly websites and pages returned.

Now try the same thing for George Bush.

[MikefromOhio]

disgusting to boot :)

Those teeth are pretty unattractive.

I posted a search with both search engines, and Google returned 90% glamor shots, and the AllTheWeb returned about 40% glamor shots and 60% goofy/parody shots. The Google "Safe Search" setting did not effect the results one way or the other.

Either Hillary!'s minions have learned how to manipulate the Google search engine to make their favored images turn up on top, or they are getting a little help from Google.

Of course, Google is already wrong on guns, so they are far from my favorite search engine.

You mean that there are 'flattering' photos of her out there??????
