Per the BBC.
quote:
Google to 'derank' Russia Today and Sputnik
Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt said the search giant needed to deal with the spread of misinformation.
RT has been described by US intelligence agencies as "Russia's state-run propaganda machine".
Speaking at the Halifax International Security Forum, Mr Schmidt said: "We're well aware of this one, and we're working on detecting this kind of scenario you're describing and deranking those kinds of sites."
He then named two of Russia's biggest media outlets: RT, a TV and online news organisation, and Sputnik, an online media network.

Per my homie (via Twitter).

“If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly; it is light as a feather and a breath will carry it.” Rev. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1855).
TL;DR: Russian bullshite rots your brain.

I hope Russia retaliates. Google is likely being influenced by our corporate media machine who is petrified that RT continues to expand their reach.

Yet you lefties yearn for Soviet communism so badly. It's so odd you've lapped up the MSM talking points about Russia. Which is it, you love communism, or are the Russians reprehensible ?

See Democrat Party platform, after translation of its propaganda spewed to the useful idiots by the surrogates (MSM).

Gonna lol so hard when the anti NN dullards cry when big media completely blocks whatever they consider "fake news" from being seen.
Google deranking fake news: BAD
Giving ISPs permission to effectively remove opposing viewpoints from the internet: GOOD

At least the left is truthful enough to admit their followers are too stupid to discern real from fake news, perhaps google should just send them all an email telling them who to vote for and a bus ride with fried chicken etc.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Putin pull the plug on all things Google that get to Russian-based servers.
Google and others just got excoriated on the Hill for being so lax with cybersecurity. Are they doing anything? Of course not. But they are trying to censor American citizens, suppress and manipulate internet searches, and now going after other news platforms.
The end is coming for Google.
Eric Schmidt is the devil and should be jailed forever.

Wouldn't necessarily want to jail 'em, but would love to see that evil greedy empire come crashing down.
