Does this surprise anyone? A new study shows the completely expected. Add Google to the list of the left wing propogana machine just like the MSM, Hollywood, and Academia.
If leftist ideas are so good why do they need to be propped up by so much false and biased information? Can't you guys win these arguments without the cheating? Are you ok with this kind of manipulation?
Before you leftist dismiss this, realize that half of the persuadable voters get their news and election coverage online from sites like Google. But I'm sure that it is really voter suppression and those IDs that are the real menace to Democracy. With the left it is alway just win baby.
From the study
"In order to assess how fairly search engine results portray political candidates and controversial issues, we collected over 1,200 URLs ranking highly in Google.com for politically-charged keywords such as “gun control”, “abortion”, “TPP”, and “Black Lives Matter”. Each URL was then assessed for political slant by politically active individuals from both the left and right. Finally, we used CanIRank’s SEO Competitive Analysis software to analyze how each URL compared in dozens of different ranking factors to determine whether Google’s algorithm treated websites similarly regardless of their political slant.
Among our key findings were that top search results were almost 40% more likely to contain pages with a “Left” or “Far Left” slant than they were pages from the right. Moreover, 16% of political keywords contained no right-leaning pages at all within the first page of results.
Our analysis of the algorithmic metrics underpinning those rankings suggests that factors within the Google algorithm itself may make it easier for sites with a left-leaning or centrist viewpoint to rank higher in Google search results compared to sites with a politically conservative viewpoint."
