TRUMP SLAMS ‘RIGGED’ NEGATIVE GOOGLE SEARCHES



TRUMP SLAMS ‘RIGGED’ NEGATIVE 
GOOGLE SEARCHES

President Trump took to Twitter Tuesday to highlight research indicating that Google is artificially boosting leftist news reports that are overwhelmingly negative about his Presidency.
Trump described the findings as ‘very serious’ and vowed to take action.


The original report from PJ Media’s Paula Bolyard suggests that of the first 100 results provided by Google for “Trump news,” almost all were from left-leaning outlets.
“Google has maintained that all outlets are treated fairly, but nevertheless, conservative sites have reported reduced search traffic and, in the case of Google-owned YouTube, content creators have been banned and demonetized.” Bolyard writes.
Bolyard found only five stories by conservative news sites turned up on Google’s search results. Three of those were from the Wall Street Journal and two from Fox News.
Bolyard also noted that CNN stories mostly populated the search results, after she conducted the experiment on multiple different computers owned by and registered to different people.
A cursory search shows this to be accurate:
“While not scientific, the results suggest a pattern of bias against right-leaning content,” she writes.
The top 10 sites that had the most results show that only one is right-leaning: 1. CNN (21), 2. Washington Post (11), 3. NBC (11), 4. CNBC (8), T5. The Atlantic (5), T5. Politico (5), T5. New York Times (5), 8. Vox (4), T9. CBS (3) and T9. Wall Street Journal (3).
It’s not the only research that indicates Google’s algorithm works with a left wing bias.
study by search engine optimization company “Can I Rank” found exactly the same outcome.
The research found that search results are 40% more likely to contain pages with a “Left” or “Far Left” slant than they are pages from the right.
In addition, 16% of political keywords such as “gun control”, “abortion”, “TPP”, and “Black Lives Matter” contained zero right-leaning pages on the first page of results.
In addition to the obvious hypocrisy of a supposedly neutral information source favoring certain political leanings, research from psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein has found that negative search results can shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by up to 43.4 percent.
In this sense, Google is enabling election manipulation.
The findings are hardly surprising given that Google is one of the leaders of the big tech move to censor conservative content on the internet.

Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can’t do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!

Conservative employees within Google has leaked information suggesting that the company is dominated by a far-left doctrine. Those who speak up in opposition to it are risking their careers.
The company is facing a class-action lawsuit from former employees who have charged that it discriminates on the basis of political viewpoint, race, and gender.

Trump hits Google for skewing results against him, Google denies — but evidence shows Trump is right

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/08/trump-hits-google-for-skewing-results-against-him-google-denies-but-evidence-shows-trump-is-rightrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
President Trump is, not surprisingly, getting a lot of flak for this. CNN, as objective as ever, has a risible article entitled, “Debunking Donald Trump’s latest conspiracy theory on Google.” In it, Chris Cillizza complains about the original article revealing Google’s search bias against Trump because in it, “every major mainstream media outlet in the country — from CNN to The New York Times to The Washington Post to Bloomberg is cast as left-leaning.”
Uh, yeah, Chris, because they are.
Anyway, on July 26, 2017, I posted this at Jihad Watch: “Google bows to Muslim pressure, changes search results to conceal criticism of Islam and jihad.” In it, I recounted Texas imam Omar Suleiman’s successful effort to compel Google to drop search results about Islam-related terms and topics that reflected negatively upon Islam. Turkey’s Anadolu Agency reported happily: “Google’s first page results for searches of terms such as ‘jihad’, ‘shariah’ and ‘taqiyya’ now return mostly reputable explanations of the Islamic concepts. Taqiyya, which describes the circumstances under which a Muslim can conceal their belief in the face of persecution, is the sole term to feature a questionable website on the first page of results.”
“Reputable”: i.e., acceptable under the Sharia prohibition on criticism of Islam. “Questionable website”: i.e., one that tells hard truths about Islam and jihad.
So this has been going on for quite some time, as it is virtually certain that Google wasn’t skewering the results only about Islam and jihad in July 2017. Only now is it being discovered by the general public. Trump is right to call the social media giants out. Let’s hope he can stop them before the make the First Amendment an entirely dead letter.
“Trump: Facebook, Twitter, Google are ‘treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful,'” by Ryan Browne, CNBC, August 28, 2018:
President Donald Trump doubled down on threats against Facebook, Twitter and Google Tuesday afternoon, saying the social platforms are “treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful.”
“Google has really taken advantage of a lot of people and I think that’s a very serious thing and it’s a very serious charge,” Trump told reporters after a meeting with the president of FIFA. “They better be careful because they can’t do that to people.”
A Twitter spokesperson, when asked to respond to Trump’s comments, pointed to previous statements and congressional testimony denying any form of conservative bias on the platform. A spokesperson for Facebook did not immediately return request for comment.
Trump earlier Tuesday accused Google of altering search results to prioritize negative coverage and left-leaning outlets and warned that the issue “will be addressed.”
Trump said in a tweet that the tech giant’s search engine had “rigged” news story results to show mostly “bad” stories about him and other conservatives.
“Google search results for ‘Trump News’ shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media,” the president said.
“In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out.”
Trump added: “Illegal? 96% of … results on ‘Trump News’ are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!”
Around 11 a.m. ET, Trump deleted the original tweets and reposted practically identical language.
“When users type queries into the Google Search bar, our goal is to make sure they receive the most relevant answers in a matter of seconds,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday.
“Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don’t bias our results toward any political ideology. Every year, we issue hundreds of improvements to our algorithms to ensure they surface high-quality content in response to users’ queries. We continually work to improve Google Search and we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.”…

TRUMP SLAMS MEDIA: 

“THEY ONLY HAVE THEIR HATRED & AGENDA”

“Truth doesn’t matter to them.”

BY STEVE WATSON
SEE: https://www.infowars.com/trump-slams-media-they-only-have-their-hatred-agenda/republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
President Trump issued a tweet storm early Thursday, slamming the media and once again describing the press as the “Enemy of the People!”
“I just cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest much of the Media is. Truth doesn’t matter to them, they only have their hatred & agenda,” Trump tweeted:

I just cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest much of the Media is. Truth doesn’t matter to them, they only have their hatred & agenda. This includes fake books, which come out about me all the time, always anonymous sources, and are pure fiction. Enemy of the People!

The President sent out several other tweets, in particular focusing on CNN and its president, Jeff Zucker.

The hatred and extreme bias of me by @CNN has clouded their thinking and made them unable to function. But actually, as I have always said, this has been going on for a long time. Little Jeff Z has done a terrible job, his ratings suck, & AT&T should fire him to save credibility!

The President then turned his attention to NBC:

What’s going on at @CNN is happening, to different degrees, at other networks - with @NBCNews being the worst. The good news is that Andy Lack(y) is about to be fired(?) for incompetence, and much worse. When Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia, they were hurt badly!

Trump then addressed a New York Times report which has suggested that the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner worked to force White House counsel Don McGahn out.

Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner had NOTHING to do with the so called “pushing out” of Don McGahn.The Fake News Media has it, purposely,so wrong! They love to portray chaos in the White House when they know that chaos doesn’t exist-just a “smooth running machine” with changing parts!

Trump also defended McGahn, and said that reports McGahn convinced Trump not to fire Robert Mueller and Jeff Sessions are fake news.

The President’s latest smackdown of the media comes in the wake of a heated exchange with CNN.
Trump tweeted that CNN was being “torn apart” after “being caught in a major lie and refusing to admit the mistake,” referring directly to journalist Carl Bernstein, who accused the president of having prior knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting between his campaign personnel and Russians.

CNN is being torn apart from within based on their being caught in a major lie and refusing to admit the mistake. Sloppy @carlbernstein, a man who lives in the past and thinks like a degenerate fool, making up story after story, is being laughed at all over the country! Fake News


“Lanny Davis admits being anonymous source in CNN Report.” @BretBaier Oh well, so much for CNN saying it wasn’t Lanny. No wonder their ratings are so low, it’s FAKE NEWS!

Other news organizations canned the article after it was revealed that Lanny Davis, the attorney for former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, admitted he was a source for the piece, but had no evidence to back up the claims.
CNN, however, has stuck by the claims in the article, and declared that “CNN does not lie” while openly calling Trump a ‘fool’.


CNN is being torn apart from within based on their being caught in a major lie and refusing to admit the mistake. Sloppy @carlbernstein, a man who lives in the past and thinks like a degenerate fool, making up story after story, is being laughed at all over the country! Fake News
Make no mistake, Mr. President, CNN does not lie. We report the news. And we report when people in power tell lies. CNN stands by our reporting and our reporters. There may be many fools in this story but @carlbernstein is not one of them.
