Funny how the bugs are only biased in one direction. You would think they would be more random.

True. Sort of like 100% of the fact checking being goaltending for just one side. Strange how that works.

Did they explain why you get Kamala Harris news when you search for Donald Trump but not the other way around?

It definitely was not a bug. Too many coincidences.

Google "Donald Trump" and you get news stories about Kamala Harris sprinkled in with some Trump.

Google "Kamala Harris" and you get zero Donald Trump.

That's not a bug

Yep, and it isn't new.

Does the bug have only 4 limbs, and an endoskeleton, and look like a dork or have purple hair?

I wonder if Instagram and Facebook are planning to shut off search again leading up to the election like they did in 2020.

Anyone remember when the D*ms were upset Elon was going to buy Twitter? Then he tried to back out saying it was overvalued and they threw a wall-eyed fit saying "He's gotta buy it!" So he went ahead and bought it. I member.

Now he can point out things like Google's obvious bias against Trump and it gets attention. I bet they regret trying to shame Elon into buying a media company now.
Trump will fix it.

Does everyone use Google? Are there other, better search engines?

If they want us to believe its a bug they need to open up their source code and let us see what they changed to fix it. Bug my ass.

Which begs the question is TDS a virus or a bacteria?

It never seems to go away entirely, so I hypothesize virus.

I wish Elon owned Google as well. What other search engine is good for conservatives?

LOL that statement from google is such garbage.

If you plugged in any big name dem (Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Biden, etc.) it would autocomplete assassination attempt.

Trump, nothing.

Lest we forget, Google's AI image generator happily created black Nazis, Vikings, and kings of England.

They have never been accused of being unbiased.

Google has responded to allegations it "censored" searches about Donald Trump after Elon Musk baselessly claimed the company had imposed a "search ban" on the former president. Google explained the bugs in its autocomplete feature caused the issues.

Google search is trash and most people acknowledge that at this point. It's flat out broken. There are articles on how broken it is.

And this was clearly done on purpose. Go back to the articles released on Googles failed AI launch. They are so far left wing internally that they are influencing search results and AI results.

This is public knowledge.

How much would the DNC have to pay Google to make that happen?

That's a big ass in-kind donation.

Search for "Trump Rally" and the first story is a Kamala rally and then a slew of negative stories about Trump. Sounds fair and balanced.

You're right. If the FEC were unbiased this would warrant an investigation.
