Now We Know the Exact Lie Google CEO Told Congress (trunc)
Conservative Tribune by WJ ^ | April 11, 2019 | Josh Manning

Posted on 04/13/2019 5:55:07 AM PDT by Twotone

A political nuke has detonated in Silicon Valley, and Google is ground zero.

Late Tuesday, excerpts from a reportedly leaked internal Google document were published by The Daily Caller. The excerpts, if accurate, confirm what conservatives have long suspected — that conservatives are being actively suppressed by arguably the most powerful company in the world.

The Daily Caller reported that a Google blacklist of websites includes right-leaning publishers such as the Conservative Tribune (a property of The Western Journal), as well as “Gateway Pundit, Matt Walsh’s blog, Gary North’s blog ‘teapartyeconomist.com,’ Caroline Glick’s website … and the website of the American Spectator.”

The impact of this leak can hardly be overstated. Google is already reeling — and panicking, as the quality of its first response to the leak reflects — because of how bad this looks for a company that has vociferously denied rigging its products against conservatives.

But far and away the most devastating part of the leak, which Google doesn’t deny is authentic, appears to confirm that Google CEO Sundar Pichai either misleadingly parsed the truth or did, in fact, lie to a committee of the United States Congress.

There is no doubt Goggle changes search terms and results.

There's also paid 'public relations firms' that manipulate search engines by flooding them with inquiries from 'what appears to be' individual users...

Sometimes to made subjects appear more popular than they are - and sometimes 'bury' a person or incident.

It’s been going on for years... Democrat War Rooms have been doing it forever. Republicans as usual are boy scouts who get screwed over eternally...

Google and its SillyCon Valley buds have been interfering with Americans on both sides for a long time. They were in bed with PRISM which spied er, eh used surveillance* on us for a long time.

*Surveillance not spying as per Jim Comey former FBI top thug.

Journalists are NOT known for having any feeling whatsoever for numbers or statistics or how they work. If you're using numbers, you can fool most journalists... with the exception of business writers and those folks usually can't write that well and are susceptible to breaking in house rules.

It's a weird world, but I get your point.

So true. I have tried at the local level to get the Reps involved in such an effort. No go. They just don’t get it.

This is a simple question if you choose to answer it:

Do you believe Epstein’s numbers? That between 800k and 4.6 million votes were changed on election day through Google search manipulation?

If not, would you not also have to characterize it as sensationalized garbage?

I don’t have any reason to NOT believe him.

Has FNC/Tucker Carlson Tonight/Tucker come out with a disclaimer that the guest they had on T’s program promoted, or provided, FakeNews or false info????

I think Tucker has had Dr E on more than once, this year. Why would he have him BACK on his show, if he promotes garbage and lies?

Thank you for taking the time to write up that very informative response. You seem very knowledgeable about such matters. I didn’t realize google is such a monster company. Seems that google may have too much influence in our lives.

Jane, you and I have been around these parts for a long time, and to my memory we have rarely if ever disagreed about anything. I have no animus toward you nor do I mean any disrespect.

“I think Tucker has had Dr E on more than once, this year. Why would he have him BACK on his show, if he promotes garbage and lies?”

Because, at heart, Tucker is your smarter than average tabloid journalist. He will seize on the sensational (and flimsy) as quickly as Geraldo to advocate his own bias.

And any person who spends a few minutes thinking about this would likely come to the conclusion that Tucker his own self does not believe it.

Or, perhaps, will seize upon it to promote and confirm their own bias. All the while knowing deep down inside there no way that there were that many undecided voters on election day 2018, much less that many who FLIPPED because a single search engine withheld a particular point of view on election day.

Correct...

It’s all over TV as well, break up the idea of white families.

Blacks vote 90+ Democrat, even half blacks vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

That’s their plan, breed white’s out of existence.

GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 1/16/2019 | Jim Hoft / FR Posted by bitt
In a previous appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight Epstein revealed that Google can take a 50-50 split among undecided voters and change it into a 90-10 split with no one knowing they had been manipulated and without leaving a paper trail… It has to do with their search suggestions.

On his latest appearance Dr. Epstein revealed that just one Google shift in search results on Election Day 2018 shifted from 800,000 to 4.6 million votes to Democratic candidates. This follows the shocking Breitbart exposé by Allum Bokhari published Thursday that proves Google has been manipulating search results. Of course the Big Tech companies have been targeting only conservative websites and publications since the 2016 election. Via Tucker Carlson Tonight: (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...”

Everybody here worried about the Socialists taking over the government is looking at the wrong target, IMHO.

It is becoming glaringly apparent to me that in the not too distant future, major commerce in the world will be controlled by three entities:

  1. Entertainment will be largely controlled by Disney
  2. Shopping will be largely controlled by Amazon
  3. All news, online and otherwise, will be largely controlled by Google

And we know the political leanings of the heads of these private-sector organizations.

At least all restaurants won't be "Taco Bell"... we hope!

Glad you found it helpful.

Personally, I think multi-national corporations are a threat to national sovereignty and are leading the world into a dangerous centralization of power. The international banking system is quickly propelling us into a one-world-economy.

Governments run by good people want their citizens to be secure, safe, free, prosperous, independent, and happy. Unfortunately, there is something about government office that either attracts aspiring tyrants or corrupts those with the best of intentions. And there seems to be an unholy alliance between aspiring tyrants and those with controlling interest in the multi-nationals.

As a general rule I support the decentralization of power.

LOL....Goggle even darkened Wilbur Wright's pic, on their American inventor page, that you posted.....

.....compare to when you just goggle his name...

Wilbur gets much 'whiter'.

They just can't help themselves from discriminating. 🙄
