Donald Trump is considering regulating Google's search engine to ensure it captures more conservative content, a top adviser says. White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters Tuesday: “We’re taking a look at it. We’ll let you know.” Earlier, Trump expressed frustration on Twitter that using the search phrase “Trump News” generated mostly negative stories. He called the search engine “rigged.” Ref. USAToday.
No scrap of credible evidence to suggest a political bias inherent to the search engine has ever been produced to my knowledge.
Oh, there is bias to be found, but it stems from the most prolific producers of internet content tending to be of a liberal bent, not anything google does.
I also find it both amusing and depressing, (But not surprising in this particular case) that a republican president wants to make us more like certain communistic countries by regulating what people see on the internet.
