Google Still Stacking Deck, Buries Right-Leaning News on Presidential Coverage 3 Weeks from Election

by Tom Olohan, Newsbusters:

With only three weeks remaining before the election, Google continues to heavily push leftist media coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in search results.

On Oct. 15, MRC researchers once again used AllSides “right” and “left” bias ratings and found that Google Search results for “kamala harris presidential race 2024” and “donald trump presidential race 2024” were dominated by a deluge of legacy media and far-left outlets. The results prominently featured CNN and The New York Times, and publications owned by leftist billionaires, such as Jeff Bezos’s The Washington Post and Marc Benioff’s Time. Not a single right-leaning outlet appeared in Google search results until Fox News was displayed on page eight for the Harris prompt and on page seven for the Trump prompt.
