A couple of weeks ago, I was doing some searches to try to find the policy positions of the candidates. I started using Google, in order to get the latest news. But I just got pages and pages of far-left corporate news propaganda. But is there any hard evidence that Google intentionally designs their products and services to benefit the Democrat party at election time?
Here’s an interesting article from the New York Post:
While Congressional Republicans were hammering Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey for censoring conservatives on their platforms, Google’s executives sat back smugly, confident that their obscene censorship schemes went undetected.
But our organization, the Media Research Center, and others have shown that Google is the most effective weapon in the left’s arsenal — the one that gets its candidates across the finish line.
In the last presidential election, Google swayed anywhere from six to eight million votes in favor of Joe Biden.
MRC’s studies over a 12-month period consistently showed that Google completely buried Republican campaign websites in favor of their Democrat opponents.
Here’s what happened during the GOP primaries for this election:
During the presidential primary contests, MRC conducted studies searching for the campaign websites for both Democrats and Republicans.
Not surprisingly, when MRC searched for “democrat presidential campaign websites,” Biden’s campaign site was always the first or second search result.
But the results were very different when searching for the Republican campaign websites.
Shockingly, Google only produced a total of two sites: one for Democrat Marianne Williamson and another for Will Hurd, a little-known Congressman who never polled above 1%.
Google would not produce the campaign websites for Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy or the other eleven candidates.
And here’s what’s going on right now:
In our latest study, we show that Google is finally revealing Trump’s website, albeit, still lower than Harris’.
But a user is now required to wade through a flood of news articles, almost all hostile to Trump, before ever reaching either candidate’s website.
[…]Congressional Republicans and several state Attorneys General understand that Google is weaponized against Republicans and uses its corporate resources to help Democrats.
It is not illegal for a corporation to use its resources to influence the outcome of an election.
But it is against the law when a corporation does not disclose its efforts with the Federal Election Commission.
And this is the conclusion, which should be shocking to you:
Google is either illegally coordinating with the Harris campaign, or if its expenditures are independent, it is unlawfully failing to file its disclosure reports.
Congress should find out which it is.
In another recent article, the Media Research Center tried using Google to search for JD Vance, after the VP candidate debate:
The morning after the debate, MRC Free Speech America conducted a search in the Google News tab for “jd vance.” MRC analysis revealed that 100 percent of the results came from outlets with a leftist political bias. Google News tab did not display a single article from an outlet that did not have a predominantly leftist political bias.
And what about the “fact checkers” that are used by big social media sites like Facebook and Instagram to censor content? Well, those fact checkers are just more journalists, like the ones who work for NPR, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
The Media Research Center reports:
Donald Trump was fact-checked 42 times from April to September, and none were on the True side, two were Half True, and 40 were Mostly False or worse. Forty to zero. Does that look nonpartisan to anyone? Add in the first quarter, and it’s 57 to 0. Fully 15 of the 40 new False verdicts were the worst designation of “Pants On Fire,” falling just short of the 17 False rulings.
From April to September, President Biden was checked 19 times, and he was on the True side as often as the False side, seven and seven (with five Half Trues). For the year, it’s nine on the True side and 11 on the False side (10 Half Trues).
In that time frame, Kamala Harris was checked 17 times, and she was rated as True or Mostly True on six occasions, and as Mostly False or worse on eight occasions (six Mostly False, two False). She had three Half Trues. For the year, it’s eight on the True side and nine on the False side (three Half Trues).
Biden drew zero “Pants on Fire” warnings this year, and has only seven of those in the entire history of PolitiFact going back to 2007 (just one during his presidency). Kamala Harris has zero overall, and she was first elected statewide in California in 2010. Trump currently has 201. This is where you can see PolitiFact’s editorial aggression, since Newt Gingrich has only twelve. Bernie Sanders has a perfect zero like Kamala.
In the April to September time frame, Republicans were whacked as “Pants on Fire” 19 times, and the Democrats only once. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker drew one — for saying on ABC’s This Week that J.D. Vance is “getting known for his obsession with couches.”
Please be careful about where you get your news. My choices for good news web sites are Daily Signal and Christian Post. I also look at Daily Caller, Washington Free Beacon and sometimes The Federalist.
By the way, I’ve start using StartPage as my search enginer, and it’s so fun to see this blog appearing in the first page of results when I search for something that I specifically wrote about. I remember when Google used to work like that. But when Trump won in 2016, that all changed. I used to get over 1000 searches a day coming to this blog. Now it’s about 1% of that per day.
And if you want to try an alternative to StartPage, try Qwant.
I’ve been using DuckDuckGo. Have you used it? How does it compare to StartPage and Qwant?

I did use it for several years, but it just started turning into Google, with pages and pages of results from corporate news media.
