When it comes to political bias online, left-leaning Facebook and Twitter have been the most common punching bags, but a new study confirms that Google’s search algorithms are also skewed in favor of liberal viewpoints.

They examined results for nearly 200 searches relating to news events for one month in late 2017 and found “a left-leaning ideological skew.”
