Google buries Trump campaign website under hit pieces


Various Google logos are displayed on a Google search, Monday, Sept. 11, 2023, in New York. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, that Google’s ubiquitous search engine has been illegally exploiting its dominance to squash competition … more >

A study has found that Google is hiding former President Trump’s campaign website under stories written by liberal news outlets while searches of Vice President Kamala Harris display flattering results and her campaign website more prominently.

The Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, analyzed searches for both candidates on Sept. 6 and found “Donald Trump presidential race 2024” produced negative news from liberal media outlets at the top of the search results. Mr. Trump’s campaign website appeared sixth in results, underneath stories from The New York Times, Politico and The Washington Post.

Ms. Harris’ campaign website was much easier to find, the MRC study discovered. It showed up much higher in the Google search, and nearly all the news stories above it were favorable and written by left-leaning outlets.

Dan Schneider, vice president of the Media Research Center’s Free Speech America program, said the search engine previously made it even more difficult to find Mr. Trump’s campaign website but has shifted tactics and is now placing it below liberal news reports about the former president, which tend to be negative.

“The big difference now is that Google puts a series of newspaper articles above search results, and for Donald Trump, all those newspaper articles, or media articles, are from left-wing outlets, and all those stories are harsh about Donald Trump,” Mr. Schneider said. “All the articles that Google produces above Kamala Harris’ website are puff pieces about her.”

Google did not immediately respond to an inquiry about the MRC study. The company told Fox News that the study “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.”

For years, the tech giant has been accused of favoring Democrats over Republicans, and critics point to employee campaign donations to support their claims.

According to the data company Quiver Quantitative, Google ranked first among the top 20 donors to the Harris campaign as of September, spending $1.46 million on her bid. Microsoft ranked second in Harris donations, spending $743,045 on her campaign. Neither Google nor Microsoft appears on the list of top 20 donors to the Trump campaign.

Google & Microsoft very disproportionately donate to the Democratic Party,X owner Elon Musk posted earlier this week. Between them, they control close to 100% of web browsers and search. Even with the best of intentions, they can’t help but introduce bias.
