Can't be any worse than google since they give preferential treatment to conspiracy theorists like CNN, MBNBC, Foxnews, etc.

> For instance, search "are vaccines dangerous", google replies with .org and .gov sites

So google should just push government and special interest groups funded by the wealthy?

> Even if you search "dangers of vaccines" in google, it still never produces that site.

You make it sound like that's a good thing...

Holy christ man. You are right, let google just show government sites. Big Brother knows best.

.org is not a government domain. even so, maybe if they and other tech companies had done this earlier we wouldn't have gotten into this trump + coronavirus mess

Exactly. This is the problem with the country. Half the crazies believe one set of conspiracies is the truth and the other half believe in another set of conspiracies.

> .org is not a government domain.

Right, I said they were special interests funded by the wealthy.

> maybe if they and other tech companies had done this earlier we wouldn't have gotten into this trump + coronavirus mess

Right... And in a few years, the other half of the crazies will be talking about the biden mess.

Half the morons the last 4 years, Trump stole the election. Half the morons now, Biden stole the election. Figure it out.

That anyone would defend any mainstream media after the last 4 years is being intentionally blind. Right or left.
