I remember complaining to Google over a decade ago about what one of their cute logos reminded me of, and they actually answered like they cared.

This might, just might, be ignorance and not just trendiness. Lefties love it when righties jump to conclusions — that gives the lie to their claim to believe in the bible, and they can fight secularists with experience.

Figured out a possibility...

The youngster (dude, did you ever even cold war?)who picks title page subjects, stumbled upon the name, pulled up the wikipedia (consensus-i-pedia)page, and read the first sentence...nothing more....Turned that over to the art department, and voila.....ignorantly offensive giggle title page!

I use bing and am in their rewards program. Your searches earn you credits where you can get gift certificates or merchandise. Every month or so, I get a $5 amazon gift card. You can sign up directly, or if you feel so inclined, PM me and I’ll email you an invitation for which I’ll earn points if you sign up. My son and his wife don’t have cable and use their points to pay for his monthly hulu subscription.

Never fear, Microsoft does evil quite well too. Maybe a firm that wears its evil on its sleeve is easier to follow the activities of than one that doesn’t, ever thought of that?

I just went to Startpage.com `The World’s Most Private Search Engine’. It looked good until I saw after the search “Enhanced by Google”.
I’m trying to get away from them. You say it’s good though?

Ublock Origin. That looks good, but will will my McAfee security tell me “A program wants to change the content on the web pages you visit’? And that’s not a problem?

Target, Starbucks, JC Penneys, Google, Ben & Jerry, the MSM.
It sure is easy for me to be a suspicious, cranky old curmudgeon these days.

I do - google has a bunch of for-pay services. The issue is they’re very good. But I don’t want my company to support this kind of garbage!

Do your research. Startpage.com is safe. It is founded by Katherine Albrecht, noted privacy advocate. THEY use google to search for the term you type in. YOU and your computer have NO contact with google.
And Startpage.com does not keep your data, search term, etc. It is safe, but do your own research like I did.

Ah, they are simply trying to protect their rear-ends from hack-attacks or physical attacks from their Muslim brothers.

Their limited and ill-advised thinking is that if they placate the evil then the alligator will eat them last.

OK, thanks.
I don’t do Fakebook and a lot of these modern ways are strange and frightening for a caveman like myself recently unfrozen from the e-ice.

I switched to Bing because I hated the Google doodles or whatever they call their cr@p. Bing works well for me (YMMV) and the pictures every day are gorgeous & even educational at times ... no political messages, as far as I can tell.

Thanks. I appreciate it, I really do. But the thread topic is about the unwanted, extreme left political content force-fed us by Google. Their offensive bigotry assumes that everyone agrees with them.

So I want to switch from Google, and Ixquick is `powered by Google’. I’m sure it’s OK, like the other one, but I’m going to have to keep looking; I want nothing more to do with Google as a search engine, even if they go by another name and only enable (whatever) the search.

Refusing to use, buy or patronize these lefty services, stores and products, or their offshoots, is IMHO, the only way to get their attention: “Spare us your political BS.”
Back to chores.

Duck Duck Go but only for searching or for searching news use Western Journalism’s search page, sure it uses Google, but every result is conservative though these days......but they have no msm source in results.
