Google's Top Stories box provides users with articles from left-leaning news organizations such as CNN 62.4 percent of the time — with only 11.3 percent coming from outlets that are considered conservative, according to a study by Northwestern University researchers.
The researchers conducted an “algorithm audit” of the Google Top Stories box using data from late 2017 to determine the tech giant’s role in shaping which news its audience consumes. The Top Stories box – which is the three highlighted articles that appear with images at the top of any Google search – is among the most prominent real estate on the Internet.
The researchers analyzed 30 “hard news” stories per day over a 30-day period, resulting in 6,302 links to various articles. The results indicate that liberal publications were prominently featured in Google’s Top Stories box — with CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, combining for a whopping 23 percent of Top Stories appearances during the sample period.

Surprise surprise
ReplyDeleteWhy would any site post news stories from the least watched news network unless CNN is paying a premium for it or the liberals at Google just want to push false narrative stories/fairytales.
ReplyDeleteI had a conversation -if you can call it that - with a libtard recently in which they tried to use Fox News as the example why every other news outlet on the planet is so liberal biased. He said they have to counteract the "blatant support for Trump" at Fox.
ReplyDeleteI said, "Come on, man...that's like comparing a Dixie cup to a Big Gulp!" There's no comparison at how outnumbered Fox is compared to the slew of other MSM liberal propaganda machines.
Split the company up
