Google, the most powerful search engine in the world, is now displaying fact checks for conservative publications in its results.
No prominent liberal site receives the same treatment.
And not only is Google’s fact-checking highly partisan — perhaps reflecting the sentiments of its leaders — it is also blatantly wrong, asserting sites made “claims” they demonstrably never made.
No surprise to those using Google to search sources relating to politics and scientific/environmental issues — in recent years, the top results have tilted heavily in favour of progressive sources.
More: This is the company that has a near-stranglehold on online advertising and search.
Heh, I wonder what happened to ‘it’s their property, they can use it how they like’…?
This is about as likely as the IRS targeting conservative groups for audit and harassment.
No wait, this makes sense after all.
OK it’s as likely as the FBI and Justice Dept surveilling the Trump team before and after the election based on specious evidence to obtain warrants.
No wait ……..
Google promoting diversity.
Lots of competition coming up,as one of the key motivations of us humans, is being right POed.
Google has made their opinion of their customers quite obvious for some time now.
Just copying FaceBook I guess.
Unfortunately, I see society as being herded into social context where everyone thinks alike. This is already apparent with young people. They are exposed to propaganda from an early age. Increasingly we are brainwashed by the media. The left needs to wake up and realize that it is the right that is pleading for independent thought and a diversity of voices. Unfortunately, I do not see them waking up any time soon.
Google is acting as a common carrier of communications… We have lots of laws that apply to common carriers… The Feds just need to crack the books….
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day, minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

I see this as an admission by the Left that their (100%) control over our schools and operation of them as indoctrination centers … isn’t working. Dammnittt!!! A certain number of their pupils are … *gasp* … thinking for themselves. They are actually growing up to be … *gasp* … conservative. Independent thinkers!!!! For the Left … “this will NOT stand”!!!! Perhaps GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, AMAZON … will … “do the job that America’s teachers just couldn’t do”
No different than CBC.Ca refusing to publish any comments that oppose their poster child Justin Trudeau. How about the editor of a Canadian newspaper who refuses to print letters that oppose Liberals?? I’ve come across a few.
I believe that Snopes.Com is another fad that will disappear, like the Hula-Hoop and Cabbage Patch kids.
So I googled “Google is evil” and got
Re-education camps for conservatives
No we are not
Who are you? we are checking into it
Switched all my devices to duckduckgo search engine last year. Google makes Hillary Clinton look like a girl scout.
I have been using duckduckgo for two years now.
The Soviet Union 1917-1990 set the precedent for our leftists. No doubt this time they will do it right.
Anti-trust laws exist for a reason. “Bust the trusts” it was said. The spine doesn’t exist to pursue that course today.
English is not my first language, I wish I could say this better, in less words,
google using two different systems for rating left wing and right wing internet sites is probably , at least in part, a way to make the public either side with google and oppose James Damore or even hate him.
if because of the warnings people avoid right wing sites and go read left wing sites, they will be brainwashed into hating Damore and they will believe Google is the good guy.
or
it is an attempt at keeping people from ever learning about how evil Google is as only right wing sites are interested in providing evidence google is evil
if the public is ”steered” away from right wing sites then they will never read about how evil google is, they will never know all the evidence James Damore has collected
google is not only helping the left, it is protecting its own butt
Nothing for Canadians to worry about. We don’t have a Conservative party up here.
So many above switched to duckduckgo, good, have been a happy user for years too. Also, stop using Chrome folks.
stop using Chrome
The new Firefox Quantum is quite good.
How can I make duckduckgo my search engine using Firefox?
I use Firefox and duckduck. Go to your search bar and click on the magnifying glass. Might have to type in duckduck and there should be a spot to make it your preferred search engine. It has been a few years since I did that so my instructions might be a little off.

Dump firefox. If you think fox is any different than google… well, I have a bridge to sell you.
I have been using Opera for many years, no clue about Firefox. Sorry.
Last week, out of the blue, Google News started pushing news headlines onto my Samsung Galaxy tab that appear on my front screen. I never set my tablet to receive these headlines and I’ve had my tablet for about a year. I needed to go into settings, at least two levels in to shut off the notifications. Why am I writing this? Every single news headline was anti-Trump. Incredible.
I use Google strictly out of habit, don’t currently have the confidence to change because I fear jumping from the frying pan into the fire. ‘Bing’ acted more like a venereal disease than a search engine on my last computer.
Since hardcore leftards have an absolute stranglehold on Silicon Valley, is there truly an efficient search engine that somehow circumvents the left’s orchestrated attack on Conservatism? I guess I will investigate duckduckgo, not that Google would ever miss me, but it IS the principle of the matter.
I suspect trying to change Google’s ways ‘from the inside’ is currently an impossibility, we’ve seen how they even piss on their own employees if they dare question THE GREAT LEFTIST NARRATIVE.
Trump needs to move the busting up these internet monopolies much closer to the top of his busy agenda. They are as much an enemy of the American people as the mainstream media currently is.

Donald Trump should establish the Ministry of Truth in order to counter Google.
The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
Google is Evil, see the James Damore Vs Google lawsuit,
I use DuckDuckGo, Yandex and Quant for search now.
Google News is 100% SJW converged, Google News has been completely destroyed, it no longer works at all and is essentially useless. Its stunning how fast this happened.
Google search has become highly adulterated by SJW religious ideology. Google still has some usefulness but if the trend continues Google will become completely useless as a search engine in a few years.
Google’s YouTube is still loosing money. Think of other enterprises in history where there was scorn and disgust for customers that were also unprofitable. YouTube content creators will face all manner of underhanded attacks, some YouTube content creators are implementing alternatives.
