An explosive report released Thursday suggests that Google manipulated its search engine to boost Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton by burying unflattering stories about her.
A video posted by SourceFed, a news and pop-culture website, accused Google of attempting to boost secretly Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy.
“Thanks to the help of our editor Spencer Reed, SourceFed has discovered that Google has been actively altering search recommendations in favor of Hillary Clinton’s campaign so quietly that we were unable to see it for what it was until today,” said SourceFed’s Matt Lieberman in the video.
For example, when typing “Hillary Clinton cri,” Google’s auto-complete function brings up as its top choice “Hillary Clinton crime reform,” even though competing search engines Bing and Yahoo show the most popular search topics are “Hillary Clinton criminal charges” and “Hillary Clinton crime.”
While that could reflect legitimate differences in the engines’ algorithms, Mr. Lieberman said that a search of “Hillary Clinton crime reform” on Google trends showed that “there weren’t even enough searches of term to build a graph on the site.”
“Which begs the question, why on Earth is it the first potential result?” he said, adding, “Apparently far more people are searching for ‘Hillary Clinton crimes’ than ‘Hillary Clinton crime reform.’ Google just doesn’t want you to know or ask.”
SourceFed found a similar result when typing in, “Hillary Clinton ind,” which yielded “Hillary Clinton Indiana” and “Hillary Clinton India” on Google, but “Hillary Clinton indictment” on the other search engines.
“The intention is clear. Google is burying potential searches for terms that could have hurt Hillary Clinton in the primary elections over the past several months by manipulating recommendations on their site,” Mr. Lieberman said.
There was no difference between Google and other search engines when SourceFed searched for unflattering terms associated with Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump.
In the video, Mr. Lieberman emphasized that SourceFed was not accusing Google of any crimes, calling the manipulation “deeply unethical and wrong but not illegal,” and adding that there is no evidence to suggest collusion between the Clinton campaign and Google.
On the other hand, Mr. Lieberman did say that “there are a stunning number of links between Google and her campaign,” starting with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, an active Clinton backer who runs a Clinton campaign data-analysis contracting firm.
Google did not return immediately Thursday evening a request for comment.
The allegations by SourceFed, whose YouTube page shows 1.7 million subscribers, come on the heels of an Internet scandal involving allegations that Facebook manipulated its “trending topics” section to omit conservative-friendly stories.
I was googling “Hillary Clinton warmonger” and it gave me “Hillary Clinton warm and gentle, yet strong, the best leader for the future.” Must be something with the algorithms.
He Haw! Google has sold out to the PTB. Never thought it would happen but I tried a couple of Hillary Clinton searches and had the same situation pop up.
Piss on you Google – you start fucking around with your search argos to favor something as nasty as that potential Presidential Cunt, you will try and screw with everyone’s mind on other topics. That makes you absolutely useless to me and probably a whole lot of other people who figure it out.
Search Propaganda is a NEW genus of screw the public —- absolutely new and totally ugly and damning….

I just did a test. I thought we lived in a patriarchy. I guess the feminazis are wrong again.

Fuck you Google! It’s bing from now on…
One will notice that all I typed into bing search after her name is the letter I. It was first on list.
On google I had to type IND and still it was last on list.
I like the wolf background so apropos. Moral of story use Bing!
House of Cards basically already had their prez candidates do this in the last season, so unoriginal…
Yahoo runs a new scowling Trump attack article every few hours and a steady stream of smiling Harpy puff pieces.
Huffington post should be renamed Hillary post.
Yahoo should should by Yahoo for Hillary we get our news from Hillary post and re hash it. There is a derogatory name for that but they are allowed to practice it. It starts with a p.
HSF, thanks for the data!
I switched to start page…but may check out the Bing,
Yahoo sites/search engines.
Many people do not have a clue, and do not want to have
a clue. They are trusting the “system” that the markets will
right themselves, that there is no international mafia, that
17 arabs took down the towers, and life will go on leaving
them undisturbed in their reality.
Just for fun I typed in Hillary Clinton followed by the letter ‘L’ and it gave me ‘logo’ and ‘lawyer’ so I added the ‘I’ after it (liar) and all of a sudden Google just went all Huh? Nothing, like it had never had an inquiry for ‘Hillary Clinton Liar/Lied’ ever in the entire history of the Internet.
It’s all a giant simulation.
HSF…just tried exact same thing on yahoo…first thing up..Hillary Clinton Lies…Second up..Hillary Clinton Lesbian news…
Looks like George Orwell was right on the money after all!!!

Wow. I just did the same thing, bing and yahoo instantly show too searches as liar, criminal investigation, and indictment as soon as you type the first letter. Google does exactly what the post does, still. I figured since HSF was the last one that did it 3 hoes ago id see if it was still doing that and sure enough it is.
How bad would she be doing in the polls if the media didn’t cover for her like this? Her unfavorability ratings are almost as bad as trumps, and he is getting almost constant negative news about him, while Clinton is given a free pass. She barely beat an elderly Jewish socialist who was barely covered by the media for the dem nomination, and even then she wasn’t able to do it without using underhanded tricks. No one in history has been given more favorable media coverage than her, with the possible exception of Obama, and yet she still does this poorly.
Awe, tell me it ain’t so boss! No way the jew scum would lie to us goyim.
I use startpage too and all it does it anonymize your searches using google so looks like I will be switching to bing as well…
I still like DDG.GG (DuckDuckGo) for non-bubbled results. It also has the handy little “bang” (!). I can type whatever, preceded or followed by !w to load the Wikipedia page directly or many shortcuts of the sort instead of a 2- or 3-step process of loading the website, searching, then maybe clicking on the link. I have no idea which other search engines have this nice feature built it because I have had little reason to change. Heck, ddg.gg is even shorter to type in the url bar than those others…
I never understood why Google got to be so popular to the point of the expression “google it” becoming a thing. Go away Google!
Google (and many of the other tech assholes like Facebook) regularly meet for closed door meetings at the White House. What the fuck did any intelligent person think was going on? The Democrats have a much better grasp of the power of Propaganda, and how to slowly and consistently twist the American populace. Of course everyone already knows about the bent of the MSM.
Why does this surprise you?
After Hillary lost her bid for president from youtube posting her falling,farting,her ear piece,doctors holding her up,Chelsie wearing upside down cross,Podesta brothers and missing children,Haiti corruption,murder.The NWO will not let bloggers get the upper hand ever again.I believe youtube /Google will also go by way of yahoo.People will go elsewhere.I guess facebook is monitored by NSA as well.I saw a Dem congressman wants China like censorship on ALL THE WEB.What are they hiding?
