Related: About this forumPlease "Google" Mary Cutcher for me and see if this happens to you.
I do and click "News" And then up pop various links to George Zimmerman trial, all of them with this following sentence:
"Sanford police issue a statement calling Mary Cutcher's TV interviews "inconsistent" with her sworn ..."
Then if I search the link for that sentence, it isn't there.
Why does this happen? I tried closing the browser and trying again. Same thing happens.

(2,442 posts)Notice that all the top news links in Google all go to HuffPost's live coverage... so as each article get updated daily with the live trial coverage, there was a comment from a reader that mentioned the "inconsistent" and that key sentence keeps getting responded to... thus the articles that are updated daily are all still under that one comment thread... that people keep responding to...
it's very confusing. But the reader comments and then ALL the responses aslo get queried by Google.

(9,138 posts)Is Google censoring? Mary Cutcher would most definitely be a friendly witness for the prosecution. I wanted to find her testimony. I haven't been following it very closely because of the emotions involved. I can't even find if she has testified as I keep getting either old news items from a year ago, or this weird stuff.
example of old story when Googling "Mary Cutcher" under 'search': http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2012/04/witnesses_mary_cutcher_and_selma_mora_offer_their_account_of_what_happened_the_night_trayvon_martin_died_.html

(9,138 posts)I'd at least like to figure out a way to counter the comment about the "inconsistent" testimony with my own response and bump it from the top of the Google search.

(9,138 posts)Quite a difference. I wonder why that one comment keeps popping up on the Google search though.
