Google Blocks Gateway Pundit from News Search Results
Breitbart ^ | 12/29/2018 | Breitbart Tech

Posted on 12/29/2018 9:05:24 PM PST by stars & stripes forever

In an email to the Gateway Pundit, Google claimed that it could not provide specific reasons why the site had been rejected. Instead, the tech giant provided two “common reasons for rejection,” although it would not say if they were the actual reasons the conservative website was rejected.

Per Google’s rules, publishers must submit an application to have their site appear in Google News search results. Once rejected, a publisher must wait 60 days before applying again.

Here is the message Google sent to The Gateway Pundit...

Some poeple like to slam Gateway Pundit. They are kne of the best sites for Conservative news. They consistentky report on events that other so-called conservative sitds refuse to touch. GTeway Lhndot does a great job.

A public service annoncement for the benefit of Free Republic readers:

Oh wait, nevermind!

It's never mind.

Nevermind is the name of a 90s grunge album.

If they’d block CNN or MSNBC perhaps they may have a bit of consistency to try to claim.

What do you think JOURNALISM is? All of the press at all time has ALWAYS been a “blog” with “professional” sources claiming their objective (which has always been a lie)

I just searched for Gateway Pundit on Bing, and it came up as the first suggestion after I had typed three letters.

Duckduckgo also showed Gateway Pundit after I typed three letters, but it was the second suggestion.

Bing did not like that I was searching with Duckduckgo. Bing also complains if I try to search with Google.

Google did not suggest Gateway Pundit, but did show it as the fourth search result after I typed the full name and hit enter.

These days, I rarely search with Google. Once in a while, I cannot find what I am looking for with a different search engine and I will use Google. However, I expect the need to resort to Google to decrease as other search engines improve their algorithms.

Google isn’t the government or a public utility so I’m not sure you can apply that term.

These corporations have the ability to block virtually all conservative URL’s, and or to tag everyone who uses them. Atually, I am sure they have been doing this for a long time.

We need real alternatives. We need real divestment for sure. It is the only way we will be able to know what is going on in the very near future.

And the alternatives need to be very powerful and very hard to break, as the enemy is real, and will not hesitate to kill the truth, wherever it is found!

GOOGLE is FACIST.

FACISM:

1. a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
2. the philosophy, principles, or methods of fascism.
3. a political movement that employs the principles and methods of fascism, especially the one established by Mussolini in Italy 1922–43.

Google wants the left to take over America. Their leadership is leftist and they want Net Neutrality so that the rest of us have to pay for their bandwidth.
I say give them a taste of their collectivist medicine. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is Elizabeth's Warren's brainchild . I think CFPB actually stands for Commie Fascist Plunder Barron's. She stuffed it into the Frank Dodd bill to become her own personal shakedown operation.
Set up to be immune from oversight it was used to threaten deep pockets and have that racket money passed to leftist causes . Trump managed to get his man in there in spite of her imperial law.
Use the CFPB to shake down billions from Google and have it used for the wall. This will force RAT judges to declare the CFPB unconstitutional or let that wall funding go forward.

I still don’t see how it applies to a private corporation. And they sure as hell aren’t “nationalist” unless they consider themselves a nationality of their own.

That’s an interesting insight.

You may also be interested in Judicial Watch.

They are a consciously Conservative legal group that specializes in extracting embarrassing documents from the Deep State.

You clearly don’t search using site:Freerepublic.com at the end of your search string. Google searches thus became useless here a few years ago at least. Google is worthless for searching Free Republic, and I’m sure is rarely in the first 10 pages of general search results.
