Google and Merriam-Webster Define the Word "Patriot" in Slightly Different Terms

At some point, I keep thinking that 70%-80% of the population will finally have to wake up to the FACT that Google has an extremist Alt-Left agenda which runs counter to what is in the best interest of America. Am I wrong to think this? Am I simply engaging in pie-in-the-sky idealism instead of reality.
Edit - Credit to EagleEye99. I lifted this from a post he made in another thread.

I googled patriot. Here’s what it said:
Then it listed two synonyms. With a “more” option. Xenophobe and others only show up when you look for “more “ synonyms.
So the Fox News graphic is slightly misleading in that it puts up Merriams definition but not googles definition

a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.

The graphic above states google lists it as a synonym.
So the Feaux News graphic above isn't wrong at all.
The graphic clearly says synonyms and not definition.
Besides, it is not like this is some big shock. Proggies have been saying for nearly two years now that if you are white and love your country that you are a white nationalist, racist, and xenophobe. Of course google will list that...

Not to normal people.
You aren't dealing with normal people.

Completely agree. Their agenda is clear.

Merriam-Webster (Themole) Edition Define the Word "xenophobe": As one who prefers to measure twice and cut once, cautious.

I am equally unsurprised that you were being downloaded at a rate of 2 to 1

It's almost like Fox could have chosen to compare both definitions and then both synonyms, but then that wouldn't really stir the tanks of the hyper-jingoist, would it?

Yeah - that’s also under Merriam's too. I was like huh????
I think Merriam doesn’t refer to it as a synonym, but has another whole category called “similar to” or something.

Yeah - I have to agree with you here - if we’re being objective.
Regardless of Fox comparing apples and oranges, you have to admit that Google having “Xenophobe” as a synonym for Patriot is pretty fricked up.
Posted on 7/27/19 at 5:13 pm to BobBoucher
Yeah the only synonym I see on Webster is loyalist.

It has a much broader definition than the very narrow definition appropriated by the feminists in the 1960s.
Do schools not give vocabulary tests anymore?
