President Trump claims Google is suppressing positive news about him and ‘will be addressed’
President Donald Trump took to Twitter Aug 28 to write:
Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of...
....results on “Trump News” are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!
The 96% claim seems to have originated on the right-wing site PJ Media before spreading to other outlets in the conservative news world. It’s the analysis of a single reporter who Googled the term “multiple times using different computers” and tallied up the perceived bias of the outlets appearing in the first 100 results.
