According to a bombshell report by the Media Research Center (MRC), Google has been meddling in U.S. elections for a while. Not just in the last couple election, we’re talking about for nearly two decades. And no, this isn’t some conspiracy theory. It’s meticulously documented, and it’s downright terrifying.
The report outlines 41 instances over the last 16 years where Google has interfered in elections. And you guessed it, all of these instances helped the candidates who were more sympathetic to Google’s left-leaning agenda. So much for impartiality, right?
The report states, “In every case, Google harmed the candidates—regardless of party—who threatened its left-wing candidate of choice.” So, it’s not about democracy or the will of the people. It’s about pushing an agenda.
Take 2008, for instance. The report claims that Google favored Barack Obama over John McCain and even suspended accounts of writers who were critical of Obama during his primary race against Hillary Clinton.
In 2016, Google allegedly manipulated its algorithm to exclude potentially damaging autofill results for Hillary Clinton, while not doing the same for Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders. The tech giant even worked with ‘partners’ to help likely pro-Clinton Latino voters get to the polls.
And let’s not forget 2020. The report alleges that Google targeted Tulsi Gabbard for censorship, suppressed news sources critical of Biden, and even blocked GOP fundraising emails. The result? Google may have shifted the 2020 election results away from Trump and the GOP by at least 6 million votes. How’s that for a rigged game?
Looking ahead, the report warns that Google is already aiding Biden for 2024, burying search results for his significant opponents. So, it’s clear that Google’s election interference isn’t a thing of the past. It’s ongoing and getting worse.
Now, you might be thinking, “What can we do?” The MRC report suggests legislative investigations and encourages the public to seek alternative information sources. But let’s be real here. We need more than just recommendations. We need action. And fast.
Google has denied the claims made by MRC, of course. But then again, would you expect anything less from a tech tyrant with an agenda? I think not.
So, what’s the takeaway here? It’s simple. Big Tech is playing puppet master with our democracy. And it’s high time we cut the strings.
