President Trump accuses Google of anti-conservative bias without providing evidence

President Donald Trump accused Google of favoring negative news stories about him in the 2016 presidential election, apparently in response to a report on Fox News. In a series of three tweets on Aug 6, President Trump said he had met in the Oval Office with Google chief executive Sundar Pichai, who told him the company didn’t boost Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, wouldn’t interfere with the 2020 election, and wasn’t involved with the Chinese military. “We are watching Google very closely!” Trump said in a tweet on Aug 6. The day before, Fox News aired a “Fox & Friends” interview with ex-Google engineer Kevin Cernekee, who said Google had a problem with anti-conservative bias on its platforms and within the company and that he was fired because of it.
