News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Surely there’s a way to study this and generate some meaningful statistics on whether Google (and others) actually bury conservative stories. Or maybe it’s already been studied, and either supported or rebutted.

First you have to figure out what a "consevative story" is. Then, you need to figure out why a search for "Trump News" shouldn't bury partisan hackery on both the left and the right. "News" used to / ought to mean something about a presentation of facts, not some particular party's preference for what it would like the facts to be.

I guess the world used to have less facts, and now they have to choose which ones to publish?

Jk. Money talks, and outrage sells better than dry facts.

This started from an article [1] posted on Drudge Report recently.

You can open up a private tab in your browser, go to Google News and do a search for yourself.

Looks like either all search engines are biased (not just Google) or Trump is.

This came out the 25 August 2018:

"96 Percent of Google Search Results for 'Trump' News Are from Liberal Media Outlets"

Google supported Clinton and threw resources behind her campaign:

"However, one can't help but be skeptical considering that just before the 2016 presidential election, among the many leaks published by Wikileaks as part of its Podesta email campaign was Google's "strategic plan" to help democrats win the election and track voters." from

I fail to see how that does not continue today.
