For example, google something like "Trump" in the US vs Canada and you'll get different news outlets (e.g. wapo vs ctv).

Or watch right wing videos in youtube in incognito mode and compare home page recommendations with the ones in your regular account.

Historically, they've also changed their search algorithms to prioritize certain types of web properties over others (for example the Google Panda update). Etc.
