Google cooks the searches as well. Search anything to do with Obama in the last election and it went for the first page and often the second to left-leaning websites to give their spin on the issue.
Who is doing the “ranking”.

In the graphs, the ordinate is upside down.
Who is this idiot? The trends ARE OPPOSITE what are stated. The number axis is reversed!
Those graphs are meaningless without the vertical axis labeled. In fact, if the units are related to hits, it appears that the hits on conservative websites are increasing as of late. The vertical axis seems to be reversed.
They’re learning from tactics seen before with the Soviets, ‘organized dispersal of tailored misinformation.’ Actually, this is something NASA also used to be accused of.
Will somebody please explain to me why the undefined y-axis units for the both the conservative and left web sites are inverted as if the graphs have been flipped vertically? When that’s taken into consideration then the conservative sites are actually getting the bigger numbers.
What am I overlooking?
It’s the search engines.
They and their advertisers make money from government-subsidized consumer spending- which conservatives oppose.
Why anyone would think the search engines would be ‘fair’ instead of profit-oriented is beyond me.
The Alexa right hand axis is RANKING so the lower the number the lower the rank, now the graphs make sense.
What do the graphs of the consistently ranked best web sites look like? It would have been nice if the graphs showed y-axis “units.” Maybe a 1 on the y-axis means best-ranked.

It may be evidence of a massive leftwing gaming of search engine results for candidates. Control the message to influence the election.
Interesting but ... so?
the numbers are upside down which makes it look like numbers are going up when if fact they’re going down.
Tricky way to deceive I think
