MSM Begs For Trust After Buzzfeed Debacle

Google Manipulates Search Results on ‘Controversial’ Topics, Report Says

 

Google tweaks search results on topics the company deems “controversial,” two Google sources revealed to Breitbart. Sometimes, the company even changes the results manually—something its chief executive, Sundar Pichai, denied in sworn testimony.

 

Among the singled out topics were abortion, gun-control activist David Hogg, the February 2018 An-148 Russian plane crash, the December 2018 Strasbourg terrorist attack, and even U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), according to an excerpt from the list and Google’s internal communications obtained by Breitbart, the right-leaning news outlet that has been breaking stories for months based on leaks from Google.

 

In the internal discussion thread, a Google engineer pointed to a change in Youtube search results for the keyword “abortion” that came shortly after a journalist from left-leaning Slate queried the company about the results. The engineer called the change a “smoking gun.”
