For future reference, if something is difficult to locate on Google, that generally means that what you're looking for has very little support among the entire rest of the internet/world. This usually means that it is false, or inconsequential / nobody gives a shite.


Jesus Christ, I can't write these justifications any better.

"If Google thinks a peer-reviewed researcher who recently testified before the Senate about Google bias is not important, they will adjust the info they feed me accordingly."

Of course, when I google "Trump two scoops" I have a multitude of options for reading about how absurd he is.

what is funny about this is that if you search "examples of google bias"

at the bottom of the page, Google literally gives you links to "popular conservative websites", some of which are apparently "blacklisted"

examples Daily Wire, Breitbard, RedState, Townhall, FreeBeacon, etc

so much for blacklisting those sites...

First, I did the "bias" Google search on my work laptop which outside of Lexus/Nexus see almost zero internet access and got the same results with "Trump is right" as the first result.

Second, I search for peer-reviewed work quite a bit and they are notoriously hard to find without a very specific search, partly to do with poor SEO and partly because they are buried due to very low traffic, often they are several pages down because very few people actually are looking for them. It is like searching for a very niche brand in a general consumer sector. Without using the brand name you will mainly get Amazon, eBay etc.

Are you still talking about the guy who wrote the article that pops up #1 on google when you search "examples of google bias"?

And FYI, when I google "google bias testimony", which is actually kind of vague considering all that's out there on the topic, and the #5 result was actually a youtube video of Dr Epstein's testimony.

So, without ever hearing of him, it was dead simple for me to find both an anti-google article that he wrote, as well as a fricking video of his senate testimony talking about google. All I had to do was search for very general phrases related to Google bias. I don't know why you're having so much trouble with this.
