Google is at it again, hard at work to assist the Democrat candidate for president.
This time the tech giant is using its significant influence to promote Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump, Fox News reported.
“Google is trying to stack the deck in favor of Kamala Harris,” Brent Bozell, the founder of Media Research Center, said to Fox News Digital.
“Google’s search engine pushes left-wing media articles favoring Kamala Harris and slamming Donald Trump,” he added. “Don’t trust Google searches.”
The researchers analyzed the Google search results for two separate searches on September 6, “Donald Trump presidential race 2024” and “Kamala Harris presidential race 2024.” What they found was startling.
“In the past, Google buried the campaign websites of Republican candidates. Now the search giant very clearly pads its search results about political candidates with leftist legacy news articles, many of which are hostile to Republicans and either neutral or favorable toward Democrats,” MRC Free Speech America associate editor Gabriela Pariseau said to Fox News Digital.
“Readers will have to sift through the biased news before they even see the organic results of their searches, let alone a candidate’s website,” she said.
In the search for Trump’s presidential campaign his official campaign website came in sixth in the results.
“But before reaching Trump’s website, readers would see options to click on seven articles from left-wing sources. The New York Times, Politico and The Washington Post were listed under the ‘Top Stories’ panel,” the researcher said.
“Once MRC researchers reached the actual search results, Google displayed a link to an article from The Economist titled ‘Donald Trump v Kamala Harris: who’s ahead in the polls?’ Additionally, the results showed CNN’s elections page along with a link to its live election updates. Google also displayed a link to NBC’s live election updates page,” she said.
When searching for the Harris campaign her official website came in third and the stories suggested were much friendlier.
“Nearly every article that appeared above Harris’s website in search results related to historian Allan Lichtman’s prediction that Harris will win the 2024 election,” the researcher said.
“This overt leftist bias is especially concerning considering that according to a November 2023 Pew Research survey, a rising number of American adults receive their news from search,” she said. “The study found that 15 percent of U.S. adults prefer to get their news from search engines which is up from 13 percent in 2022 and 11 percent in 2021.”
But a spokesperson for Google dismissed the study.
“Both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries. This report looked at a single rare search term on a single day several weeks ago, and even for that search, both candidates’ websites ranked in the top results on Google,” the spokesperson said.
