Google is biased in favor of Democrats ahead of 2024 election

 While Congressional Republicans were hammering Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey for censoring conservatives on their platforms, Google’s executives sat back smugly, confident that their obscene censorship schemes went undetected.

But our organization, the Media Research Center, and others have shown that Google is the most effective weapon in the left’s arsenal — the one that gets its candidates across the finish line.

In the last presidential election, Google swayed anywhere from six to eight million votes in favor of Joe Biden.

MRC’s studies over a 12-month period consistently showed that Google completely buried Republican campaign websites in favor of their Democrat opponents.

During the presidential primary contests, MRC conducted studies searching for the campaign websites for both Democrats and Republicans.

Not surprisingly, when MRC searched for “democrat presidential campaign websites,” Biden’s campaign site was always the first or second search result.

But the results were very different when searching for the Republican campaign websites.

Shockingly, Google only produced a total of two sites: one for Democrat Marianne Williamson and another for Will Hurd, a little-known Congressman who never polled above 1%

Google would not produce the campaign websites for Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy or the other eleven candidates.

Because the world now knows Google’s methods and motivations, the search titan has changed its tactics.

In our latest study, we show that Google is finally revealing Trump’s website, albeit, still lower than Harris’.

But a user is now required to wade through a flood of news articles, almost all hostile to Trump, before ever reaching either candidate’s website.

For example, Google highlighted a pro-Kamala Harris article in The Economist four search results above Trump’s website.

Instead of addressing the policies of the two candidates, The Economist noted Trump’s “dismal record” of scandals and legal battles, while touting Harris’s young age.

In another example, The Washington Post’s live update page included articles with headlines like “Trump’s sudden move to re-litigate sexual abuse claims goes off the rails.”

Predictably, above the link to Harris’s website were puff pieces touting optimistic predictions of a presidential win that simultaneously hid her actual policy positions.

Congressional Republicans and several state Attorneys General understand that Google is weaponized against Republicans and uses its corporate resources to help Democrats.

It is not illegal for a corporation to use its resources to influence the outcome of an election.

But it is against the law when a corporation does not disclose its efforts with the Federal Election Commission.

Google is either illegally coordinating with the Harris campaign, or if its expenditures are independent, it is unlawfully failing to file its disclosure reports.

Congress should find out which it is.
