Is Google Being Evil? Lying About Helping Hillary?

Has Google been stacking its search engine deck against Donald Trump and in favor of Hillary Clinton? Is it front-loading its search results to emphasize negative stories on Trump, while at the same time burying negative stories on Clinton and boosting positive ones on her? That was the charge back in June, and now it’s resurfaced again.

Predictably, the same anti-Trump establishment media outlets that defended Google and poured scorn on the Trump charges in June have once again dismissed his more recent accusation as ludicrous. But is it ludicrous? As we will show below, a very simple test that anyone can replicate provides overwhelming evidence that Google is indeed cooking the data, its protestations to the contrary notwithstanding. Moreover, the company's repeated denials of bias are clearly not true. Which is another way of saying they're lying. So much for Google's famous motto, "Don't Be Evil," and their claim of being a revolutionary new company that puts ethics above all else. The evidence also makes trash of the motto of Google's new parent company, Alphabet, Inc: "Do the right thing."
