Google has been putting its thumb on the scale to help Democratic candidates win the presidency in the last four election cycles, during which it censored Republicans, according to a right-leaning media watchdog.
The Media Research Center published a report alleging 41 instances of “election interference” by the search engine since 2008.
The MRC published a report accusing Google of having “utilized its power to help push to electoral victory the most liberal candidates … while targeting their opponents for censorship.”
The report comes weeks after AllSides conducted an analysis which found that news aggregator Google News skewed even more off the charts in 2023. (snip)
Google has denied the claims made by MRC.
Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO and X owner, chimed in on the subject with a post on his social media platform.
Musk wrote that Google “interferes to help Democrats thousands of times every election season.”
“This is to be expected when their censorship (aka ‘Trust & Safety’) teams are have far left political views,” Musk wrote.(snip)
In 2008, MRC alleged that Google threw its support behind then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) as he faced off against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
According to the MRC report, Google “targeted support for Hillary Clinton for censorship” by “suspending the accounts of writers who wrote blogs critical of Obama during his primary race against Clinton.”
Four years later, Google, which “once again favored Obama over Mitt Romney,” refused to correct a “Google bomb” that smeared GOP primary candidate Rick Santorum, according to the report.
The MRC study cited data from Dr. Robert Epstein, who told Congress that Google’s search algorithm “shifted at least 2.5 million votes” to Clinton in her failed race against the eventual winner, Donald Trump.

As if they didn’t help Traitor Joe as much as possible.
Should be considered a contribution in kind just like TV/radio advertising providing equal time.
But don’t expect it to be enforced since there are 2 standards so just have to work through it

“Google helped boost Obama, Clinton presidential runs while censoring Republicans: report”
The Deep State along with Google helped boost Obama, Clinton presidential runs while censoring Republicans: report
There fixed it
It was obvious! I was trying to expose this years ago. John McCain was one of the first to manipulate Google search.

It’s something I rarely do, but just did. Most stuff from Trump was in there, along with several others who are Trump supporters. Things I signed up for. Google is really putting themselves into this election. They did something similar for John McCain with searches in 2008 and 2010.

You Tube’s doing the same right now. Just search Trump and watch what you find.
Thank goodness they have seen the evils of their ways and won’t try to pull anything like that this year.
We can all rest easy that it will be a free and fair 2024 election without Big Tech interference.
DIMWITS!!
... at least on this planet.
G**gle only exists to invade your privacy and manipulate your thought processes. If you use any G**gle product (without first making some technically-astute modifications), you're as much as begging for a proctological exam every time you fire up a PC or handheld digital device.
I remember when the search engines were wonderful
Now they are crippled by google
Most of the internt is hidden
Cannot find things unless you key it in exactly
We are being more and more crippled
Must be some kind of huge kickbacks it’s not because the love them.
