However, when considering contributions to ALL candidates, it is more balanced (53% to Democrats). The comparable number for Google is 70% to Democrats.<br /><br />Conclusion? Staffers who try to remain fair and balanced probably have an easier time with the Microsoft top brass than with Google.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190910557913490109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-16959321675297998362017-11-01T06:47:56.414-07:002017-11-01T06:47:56.414-07:00http://www.canirank.com/blog/analysis-of-political...http://www.canirank.com/blog/analysis-of-political-bias-in-internet-search-engine-results/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077075990267575860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-57804738645253343602017-04-10T17:49:34.469-07:002017-04-10T17:49:34.469-07:00http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/09/13/hillary-g...http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/09/13/hillary-google-bias-confirmed-experiment/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-24051300787771123362016-07-24T21:19:05.410-07:002016-07-24T21:19:05.410-07:00Google search is predicated on pushing up paying a...Google search is predicated on pushing up paying ad clients. Google makes it's money off of promoting products. This same technology can easily be biased for politics. MS on the other hand do not make their money off of search ads and have no agenda of pushing products (or politics). While Bill Gates is decidedly liberal, from Bing you get more unbiased results also for search for non-political subjects.D Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466427440382934673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-73790228230360937762016-01-24T10:46:06.040-08:002016-01-24T10:46:06.040-08:00May I add; have any of you tried checking out what...May I add; have any of you tried checking out what data is collected by Google and Bing. Google connects you to far more servers on the Internet when you simply open their page. Bing, even with all the news feeds at the bottom does but a fraction. Looking further into what they were collecting (cookies, history, contact data) from my computer; I made Bing my default and use it all the time now. Sorry Google, but just cause your were the best search engine doesnt give you the right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-91726832854681166042015-11-24T10:59:00.572-08:002015-11-24T10:59:00.572-08:00Fox is biased.

I found this page, because of a search I did on google that took me to opinion rather than news, and guess what? All of the opinion was liberal. So I tried is google biased. You should really wake up yourself. You are being spoon fed much like you accuse the fox news crowd of being. No one, and I mean no one is reporting facts anymore.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-57330932171681312592015-09-08T02:20:48.175-07:002015-09-08T02:20:48.175-07:00This entire thing was so ridiculously biased ITSEL...This entire thing was so ridiculously biased ITSELF as to be completely--though hilariously--irrelevant. To all of you living in "Foxlandia", I highly suggest a Microsoft Windows phone. Even after choosing the news sources you prefer and "deleting" propaganda like Fox & WA Post, your phone will override your preferences and feed you a steady stream of muck and myth from your friends at Fox. Other sites have a weird tendency to magically send you back to your search results page and leave no trail for retrieval...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-48560448113630199352015-06-14T05:07:21.891-07:002015-06-14T05:07:21.891-07:00I found this because of a search on Sarah Palin.

The group has not allowed any politically related events for 4 years and there have been over 1000 events with over 15000 attendees in that 4 years. However, when searching for "Grey Wolves Meetup" the third item on the list is an event from 2010 (prior to making the "no politics" policy) about Earth Hour. It was poorly attended and pretty insignificant. <br /><br />I strongly suspect there is a deliberate skewing of results to make millions of people using the search engine think that left wing or liberal agendas are more popular than they really are. This sort of thing is extremely important in propaganda machines. You make people think that they are "out of it" if they don't abide by what they think is accurate information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-35495595797057812452013-06-11T19:16:05.391-07:002013-06-11T19:16:05.391-07:00On a whim, I searched for "Will Liberals See ...On a whim, I searched for "Will Liberals See Caesar Chavez When They Die?" on both Google and Bing. While Bing's results are more neutral overall than Google's, there is one result on Bing's first page that is not on Google's first page (it's Bing's first result, no less) that tilts Bing decidedly to the right: The Political Omnivore: The Politics Of: Google vs. Bing<br /><br />From what I understand, it's a partisan RINO blog.redanzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17469678636371422355noreply@blogger.com
