There’s no question Google is manipulating search results, but it’s a much broader problem than just the presidential election.  Google is also altering search results on a broader front.  Consider the following:

An op-ed was recently published in a Nebraska newspaper that discusses the problem of politicized training for judges, police, and prosecutors under the title: “Biased Training for Judges Still a Problem.”  Among other things, the op-ed discusses the problem of “trauma-informed” training.

The article was originally published on May 24, 2019. One month later, an Internet search was conducted on the four major search engines. If you search on the term, “biased training judges,” you receive the following results:

1. Duck, Duck Go – Three of the first four  “hits” picked up this article.  The first was from the SAVE website, the second was from the MassCentral website, and the fourth was from the Grand Island Independent website (the newspaper that originally published the article).
2. Yahoo – The first three results picked up this article in the following order:  SAVE, MassCentral, and Grand Island Independent
3. Bing — Three of the first four results picked up this article in the following order:  SAVE (2), MassCentral (3), Grand Island Independent (4)
4. Google – The article does not appear at all…zero results!

The only way for Google to get zero results on a search that is in the top four for each of the other major search engines is for Google to be manipulating its algorithm.
