To Break Google’s Monopoly on Search, Make Its Index Public

This is precisely the hand-waving I was talking about. An employee rambling in a bar does not constitute evidence of search result manipulation, especially when the person recording it is known for stretching information, inciting people to commit voter fraud, and crossing the U.S. Mexico border dressed as deceased Osama Bin Laden to prove some point.

Likewise, the handful of people you know having political views, in an organization of 85,000 people, is not evidence that that organization's search results being biased.

If there is so much anecdotal evidence then it should be easy for you to prove, right? Or are you afraid of being disproven?

You asked for proof and I gave it to you. I'm sorry you don't like the source, but unless you want to address what Jen Gennai said, I don't think you have much of a point.

Jen Gennai herself points out how Veritas is lying about what she said: https://medium.com/@gennai.jen/this-is-not-how-i-expected-mo...

James Okeefe is publicly known for selectively editing video to make false representations, and this duck is no different.

You specifically claimed that there's plenty of anecdotal evidence. Where is it?
