Election Interference: Google Purges Breitbart from Search Results

A few days after the 2016 election, at an internal meeting later leaked to Breitbart News, top Google executives, including Sundar Pichai, Sergey Brin, and Kent Walker, lamented President Trump’s victory, comparing Trump voters to “extremists” and discussing their desire to make Trump’s election and the populist movement a “blip” in history.

True to their word, four years later, Google is deliberately working to interfere with the reelection of Trump in 2020.

There are several ways in which Google is interfering in the 2020 election, but this article will focus primarily on one of them: political search bias.

Google Has Been Purging Breitbart Content from Search Results Since the 2016 Election

Search visibility is a key industry measure of how findable a publisher’s content is in Google search. New data shows that Google has suppressed Breitbart’s search visibility by 99.7 percent since 2016.

Breitbart is not a legitimate media source. It panders.

Google was literally created by the US Military intelligence. It is a spying tool.
Ditto for Facebook and Twitter.

Many no longer use Google so their searches would be on other services, so some of these sites could see less Google traffic for an altogether positive reason. Gulag is still evil.

So, lemme see if I understand correctly.

The people who were AGAINST net neutrality, because it was wrong for the government to meddle in business matters... because the TOTALLY trust the ISP's to do the right thing... now they suggest that the government needs to get involved with a private company because they don't like the results?

What's more interesting, is that they only used Google search engine, but didn't compare the results for the same tests against Bing, or Yahoo. If they came up with the same results, then it would negate the narrative they are driving. Tests must be made with a way to falsify them to then solidify the results if not falsified. I do not see that done here.
