trump gets his “news” from F&F. So it’s a no-brainer he knows what he’s talking about. Jesus, my Chihuahua is smarter than trump.

You named your little dog Jesus?

Ok.

Ayup. This whole incident has exposed a number of One D Ten Tee google users.

They’re probably just using the shadowbanned version of google.

hen using Google, I came to the same conclusion some time ago. They’ve rigged the outcomes to peddle their meme.

I find Google searches sometimes frustrating when I’m looking for something of interest from a few years ago. What I frequently find is that my search results are often polluted by more recent events with a decided liberal slant.

I eventually find what I’m looking for by using different search engines and reworking my search criteria, but frustrating none-the-less.

Well duh more recent stuff is typically going to have higher rankings. But you know you can actually limit searches to specific published date ranges, right?

Ok.

Why not? Its a pretty popular name where the dogs are from.

Somehow I inadvertently deleted that post of mine.

But I’ll double down on it. There may be some incorrect stereotyping but it’s true more often than it’s not.

Heh heh lm Lol’n

It’s funny cause . . . it’s false. The fact that you don’t think there’s a relationship between the skillsets of programming and “technology” (I assume that you mean the hard sciences and/or engineering) is telling.

We don’t NEED anything. There is no requirement to be a decent human being or a good American. I simply said that if social media was run by GOOD Americans, REAL Americans instead of Libs, there would be no problem with fairness.

Your opinion that “Libs” aren’t “Real Americans” is really quite telling, CMI; almost Conanesque. So I can improve, why don’t you tell me where I’m not a Real American (in your opinion, of course)?

5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 for some variant of “if I have to tell you, you wouldn’t understand”.

AS to what should actually be done, I believe the first step is to see what Google is actually doing. Then see what can legally be done. If there is nothing to the allegation of bias, then they should be happy to demonstrate that.

I could of sworn you were of the opinion the Mueller investigation wasn’t justified

If we are going to have all sorts of investigations on suspicions, then we get some too. Besides, a review of actual results should give an idea as to whether these engines are biased without going into the algorithm. A sort of proof is in the pudding test.

Ok. So you believe corporations are not people and the court was wrong. Then you should be against allowing corporations to influence elections like this…if they are.

AS to what should actually be done, I believe the first step is to see what Google is actually doing. Then see what can legally be done. If there is nothing to the allegation of bias, then they should be happy to demonstrate that.

So you really want to set a precedent that if a politician…if anyone…makes an accusation against a company with absolutely zero evidence behind the accusation…then an investigation should result?

Also as was pointed out, you’ve got the Citizens United ruling precisely backwards.

We already do that. Its called the Campaign/ Russia collusion investigation.

No, I favor the result of Citizens United. What I was saying is that those who think the decision is wrong have no business defending corporations based on the first amendment.

While Google does base its headquarters in California, I don’t think that a political leaning can be determined. I would love to see the algorithm of how search results are ordered (excluding search terms) for more insight, because sometimes during breaking news the mainstream media is up at the top of the search results, along with one conservative news station. For all I know, it could be based solely on popularity or number of hits, but again, I would love to see their algorithm for their search engine.

Oh my God, this is so refreshing. Can y’all PLEASE try to do this rationally curious thing more often?

Excellent. In that case, shall we just call this investigation the nanny nanny boo boo investigation?

I doubt if we both are talking about the same level of genius.

I liked it better before the internet when the nut jobs lived at the edge of town and had a long driveway with a confederate flag and a Keep Out sign. The internet has allowed those anti social crazies to congregate.

Call_me_Ishmael · 2018-08-29T12:00:05.156Z

I use - alot to omit the more popular links. Ya gotta add several sometimes.

For example, for a look at white house flag events that have nothing to do with McCain or Trump.

“White house flag” -McCain -Trump

Yeah… Google still puts a few recent events up but just a few.
