Surprisingly, notable\u2062 Democrat Robert\u200d F. Kennedy\u200d Jr. was nowhere to be found, despite being second \u2062in the Democratic race.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more\u2064 concerning is that no Republican candidates\u200d appeared on the first page of results, \u2063even though\u2064 the search was conducted just before the first GOP \u200bdebate.\u2062 This is a time when Americans are seeking clarity on the\u200c candidates, turning\u200d to the internet for information.<\/p>\n<p>The results of\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2023\/08\/Google-Search-Bias-Presidential-Campaign-Websites-MRCFSAM-1.pdf-1692812372019-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the analysis<\/a> are almost comical if they weren&#8217;t such a threat to democracy. Joe Biden&#8217;s\u200d campaign predictably topped the list, but the \u200bsubsequent results included Marianne Williamson, Bernie Sanders, and\u200c Elizabeth Warren. Seriously?<\/p>\n<p>This \u2062study\u2063 utilized a clean algorithm that isn&#8217;t influenced by prior searches or cookies. Therefore, what we see is Google&#8217;s baseline for search results, and it&#8217;s \u2064evident that Google, despite being expected\u2063 to be a neutral resource, is far from it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Google&#8217;s Manipulation \u200cExposed<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Google has erased \u200devery \u200bthreat to Joe Biden. We know that Google pulled out\u200c all the stops to put Hillary Clinton in \u2063the White House \u2063and they have continued to interfere in our elections\u200b ever since. Compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platforms<\/a>, it is harder to document what\u200c Google does \u2064in secret but we at MRC Free Speech America \u200chave caught them red handed again.&#8221; &#8211; Dan Schneider, MRC&#8217;s \u2063Vice President for\u200c Free Speech<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This\u200d isn&#8217;t the first time Google&#8217;s bias\u2064 has been \u2063exposed. In October 2020, MRC discovered Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/midterm-elections-google-manipulates-search-engine-results-against-republicans-media-research-center-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">manipulation<\/a> of\u2063 search results leading up to the midterm elections. Once again, \u2064the suppression of speech was directed solely against conservative voices.<\/p>\n<p>According to Schneider, &#8220;Google consistently stands apart from all other search engines, and not in a good way. We have repeatedly witnessed Google and Big Tech\u2063 social media platforms treating Republican candidates unfairly compared to their Democrat opponents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are two \u200dpossible\u2063 explanations for \u200dthis bias: either these skewed \u200cresults \u2064are intentional, which Google denies, or the implicit\u2063 left-wing\u2062 bias \u200dof the \u2063software engineers \u2062and others within the company is infiltrating the search engine.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open Secrets<\/a>, 88% \u200bof <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/microsoft-will-suspend-donations-to-any-gop-lawmakers-who-challenged-2020-election-results\/\" title=\"Microsoft Will Suspend Donations to Any GOP Lawmakers Who Challenged 2020 Election Results\">political donations<\/a> from Google employees go\u2064 to Democrats. So, it&#8217;s no surprise that the product they produce \u200baligns with\u200b a liberal \u200dagenda.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also unsurprising that \u2063Democrats\u2062 in Congress oppose\u200c investigations or legislation \u200ctargeting Big Tech political bias. After all, it benefits \u200bthem.<\/p>\n<p>This bias doesn&#8217;t just\u2062 harm conservatives; it harms the entire\u2064 country. Whether it&#8217;s elections,\u200b COVID, Critical Race Theory, or\u2064 the transgender issue, Google\u200b has stifled perfectly reasonable \u200dpositions.<\/p>\n<p>With over 90%\u2064 of the \u200bworld using Google \u2064as their primary\u200c search\u2062 engine, how\u2064 can voters be\u200c properly informed about candidates and issues when the ultimate arbiter of online\u200b relevance is stacked against one side?<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d time for Congress to act is now. They must\u2063 continue to hold Big Tech bosses accountable \u2064and pass \u200blegislation that cracks \u2062down on ideological\u2063 bias\u200d in the industry.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Search Engine Bias: A \u2064Silent Censorship<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Search engine\u2064 bias\u200d is a silent form of \u200dcensorship, \u2064a lie\u200b of omission if\u2063 you will. That makes\u200d it no\u2063 less perilous\u200c to our politics because people don&#8217;t know what they don&#8217;t know, and Google seems happy \u200bto keep its users in ignorant bliss, as\u2063 long as it helps the Left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Conservatives can no longer ignore this issue and pretend it\u200c isn&#8217;t happening. Google searches have become \u2064deeply intertwined in the daily lives of Americans, and \u200cthis blatant bias cannot be tolerated. In today&#8217;s age, Google search results \u200cshape our reality.<\/p>\n<p>While the First \u200dAmendment grants us the right to free speech, \u200bit becomes meaningless if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/everything-that-is-wrong-with-fox-news-in-one-brit-hume-tweet\/\" title=\"Everything That Is Wrong with FOX News in One Brit Hume Tweet\u2026\">tech giants<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-study-finds-google-favors-democratic-campaigns-buries-republican-websites\/\" title=\"Study: Google Biased Towards Democratic Campaigns, Suppresses Republican Websites\">social \u200bmedia\u200c barons manipulate<\/a> what average Americans \u200csee.<\/p>\n<p>The bias\u2063 is real, it&#8217;s proven, and it must be stopped, whether by the industry itself or \u2063through\u2063 government intervention.<\/p>\n<p><em>David Marcus is a West Virginia-based columnist and author of &#8220;Charade: The Covid Lies That Crushed A Nation.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The views \u200cexpressed in this piece \u2062are those of the author \u2062and do not\u200c necessarily represent those \u2063of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO GET \u200cTHE\u200b DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>not plan to run in 2024, Hillary Clinton, appeared in the search results.
