VIDEO: Is Google Manipulating Searches To Be Pro-Hillary?

A newly-released YouTube video makes a compelling case that, for unclear reasons, Google search results appear manipulated in favor of Hillary Clinton.

The video is the work of SourceFed, a channel with over 1.7 million subscribers that posts a variety of news, pop culture, and explanatory videos.

WATCH:

The video’s claims revolve around the potential searches Google recommends based on what a user has typed into the search bar, and how those recommendations differ from other search engines.

Do You Think Google Is Manipulating Searches To Be Pro-Hillary Clinton?

Yes No

Completing this poll entitles you to Daily Caller news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. For instance, when a person types “Hillary Clinton crim” into the search bar, instead of suggesting a search like “Hillary Clinton crimes,” SourceFed found that Google proposed searches like “Hillary Clinton crime reform” and “Hillary Clinton crime bill 1994,” even though a look at Google’s own trends show that “Hillary Clinton crimes” is a far more popular search.

In contrast, when “Hillary Clinton crim” is typed into the search bars of Bing and Yahoo, it produces top suggestions such as “Hillary Clinton criminal” and “Hillary Clinton criminal investigation.”

Similarly, despite rampant speculation that Clinton may be indicted over her handling of Department of State emails, “Hillary Clinton indi” produces suggestions like “Hillary Clinton india” and “Hillary Clinton indiana” instead of “Hillary Clinton indictment,” even though the latter is a far more popular search term. Once again, Bing is completely different, and indictment-related searches dominate the suggestion box.

“It’s like if you put three people into a room that’s on fire, and two out of three people yell ‘Fire!’ and the third person yells ‘I’m in a room!,” SourceFed’s Matt Lieberman says in the video.

It’s not hard to find additional examples that further reflect SourceFed’s findings. For example, “Hillary Clinton dis” produces “Hillary Clinton discusses monica lewinsky” and “Hillary Clinton disclosure” as suggestions on Google, while Bing and Yahoo suggest “Hillary Clinton disbarred” and “Hillary Clinton dishonest.” On Bing and Yahoo, “Hillary Clinton mu” leads to murder-related suggestions, while on Google the top suggestion is “Hillary Clinton music video.” “Hillary Clinton Benghazi” produces suggestions of a “Benghazi cover-up” on Bing and Yahoo, while the term is nowhere to be seen on Google.

On the other hand, the three search engines are sometimes aligned. “Hillary Clinton li” produces “Hillary Clinton lies” and “Hillary Clinton liar” on all three engines.

Notably, the video comes just two days after Julian Assange of Wikileaks alleged that Google is collaborating with the Clinton campaign to put her in the White House.

You really need to watch the embedded video. It explains it all. Google was clearly helping Hillary against both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

The dirty little secret is, if you spend a good amount of time typing in “Hillary pressured to quit by DNC”, then the algorithm will learn it and eventually suggest that to EVERYONE who is simply typing in “Hillary”. Just saying.

Facebook recently was making it harder for me to connect to Trump pages by setting them way down the list when you type ‘Tr’. Before, the Trump sites were popping up at the top, esp. since they’re sites I often visit.

“for unclear reasons,”

Oh, I think the reasons are quite clear.

The video gives the examples of “Hillary Clinton cri” and Hillary Clinton ind” - which only on Google do not autocomplete into several suggestions related to “crime” and “indictment”.

I tested this, and some others, for myself on Google, Bing and Yahoo. It really was startling. In addition to the examples on the video, I tried:

Hillary Clinton li
Hillary Clinton cor
Hillary Clinton unt

Again, while Bing and Yahoo gave multiple suggestions related to lies, corruption, untrustworthy and untruths for the above, this was almost entirely absent on Google. Amazingly, the on result for “untruth” on Google came as the next to last on their list of suggestions - WITH ALL THE REST being inert (not an obvious negative) words that started with T.

To me, that last one seals it. How can Google explain so many autocomplete suggestions that start with T - like “Hillary Clinton twitter” and “Hillary Clinton taxes” - as results for Hillary Clinton unt?

They've been doing experiments to see how much they can move public opinion by manipulating search results.

This is just them putting their research into action.

The Left and Establishment (with whom Google etc. are firmly aligned) is going to do everything within its power to sway public opinion in favor of Hillary and against Donald Trump.

It's just more proof to add to the mountain of evidence that the elites are totally corrupt. They're not about to let a little thing like the will of the American People get in the way of their diabolical plans.

Maybe this Revolution isn't going to be so bloodless after all...

Vote Trump!
