Individuals who work for Google, Twitter, and Facebook did not make a single itemized contribution to President Donald Trump's reelection campaign during the second quarter, even as they pushed $250,000 into the coffers of the top five 2020 Democratic contenders, a review of campaign finance data shows.
Of the current top candidates vying for the Democratic nomination, South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg was the favorite of those who work at the three tech giants, pulling in a combined $85,132.01 in itemized contributions—individuals' donations totaling $200 or more that discloses information such as an employer. Buttigieg, a Harvard graduate, has connections to many leaders in Silicon Valley who also attended the university.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) was the second biggest beneficiary from employees at Google, Twitter, and Facebook, pulling in $69,507.75. Earlier this year, the senator lambasted big tech's power and proposed breaking up America's largest tech companies. Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) received $45,772.82, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) collected $30,069.08, and former vice president Joe Biden saw $17,150 flow into his campaign from individuals at the three companies.

Most of the tech firms mentioned have lots of employees in San Francisco or nearby. There is another reason for their fondness for the failed mayor of South Bend.
Do a query.

Russian collusion ????
YEAH with GOOGLE YOUTUBE TWITTER CNN PMSBC PBS.
In and of itself this isn't an issue. The problem arises from Facebook, YouTube, and Google having unique to the three protection from libel lawsuits. They have this protection on the agreement that they do not act as a publisher. They however are acting as publishers projecting a particular bias and that protection needs to go.
No, there's no bias there.
And liberals say that Google employees don't allow their bias to affect Google search results. Like the mueller team didn't allow their bias to affect the report.
