Google responds to Trump: Denies favoring ideologies in search results

Google on Tuesday responded to President Trump's early-morning tirade against the search giant, denying that its algorithms favor liberal media outlets over right-wing ones.

The tech giant said that it does not bias its "results toward any political ideology."

"When users type queries into the Google Search bar, our goal is to make sure they receive the most relevant answers in a matter of seconds," a Google spokesperson said in a statement.

"Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology," the statement continues. "Every year, we issue hundreds of improvements to our algorithms to ensure they surface high-quality content in response to users' queries. We continually work to improve Google Search and we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment."

1. I'm convinced Google searches

work flawlessly. I Googled "Donald Trump" and this is the first image that appeared, EXACTLY as I always picture him:

[trueblue2007]

18. i prefer this one

[Haggis for Breakfast]

23. Oh Hell,

Where's that eye bleach ?

[BigMin28]

2. Algorithms

Someone probably had to explain the meaning of the word, and its pronunciation to him.

[GeorgeGist]

8. He probably thinks they were invented by...

Al Gore

[ailsagirl]

10. not to mention how to spell it

[Uncle Joe]

16. Al Gore's rhythm

[ailsagirl]

20. I remember that!

[honest.abe]

3. That's why Trump is pissed... he wants Google to favor him.

He only gets good news and praise from the people around him. The man-child moron expects that from everyone including Google.

[flibbitygiblets]

4. Now the RW'ers will switch to Bing or Yahoo out of spite, and become even more ill-informed

[Liberalagogo]

5. Shithole's point was to make this a talking point

So he can repeat it over and over until it's believed true.

[Snellius]

6. Complains can't find any good press on Google which floods it with more bad press. Weird

You want everyone to love you. Everyone hates you, Donald. So you're going to "address" it? Issue an executive order that everyone has to love you from now on? Must be frustrating for the gnome who thinks he's a giant. Can't just step on people like you think you can. Take the hint.

7. I found out from someone on DU

that if you go to Google Images and type in the word 'Idiot', his picture pops up!

HA HA

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Fear the politician that fears a little sunshine

His whole life has been an inside job

11. From a Google search:

[wolfie001]

13. Ha ha!

[wolfie001]

12. NOTHING Google does will mollify this pathological liar! nt

It would be best to just ignore the bastard because that's what really triggers him.

14. That is totally unacceptable to drumpf and his evil minions.

They always have to be # or someone is cheating. They are too ignorant to understand science or to accept any results other than they are #1. Even if Faux Snooze and Infowars rw lies sucking up to drumpf are far far fewer than the truth showing his criminality and lack of common decency, they still want those lies to rise to the top. drumpf especially finds it unacceptable that the truth is being shown, he prefers PUtin's lies and the lying echo chamber of Faux Snooze.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Watch Russia unleash the bots to overwhelm the algorithms and skew the search results.

because that tweet was a clarion call for them to do so.

[lillypaddle]

17. Being US Pres must be the easiest job in the world

Doesn't he ever do any WORK? JFC.

[plimsoll]

19. Works fine.

I typed in evil bastard and he was there in the pictures.

[orangecrush]
