Did Google Manipulate Search for Hillary? | SourceFed.com
Published on Jun 9, 2016
While researching for a wrap-up on the June 7 Presidential Primaries, we discovered evidence that Google may be manipulating autocomplete recommendations in favor of Hillary Clinton. If true, this would mean that Google Searches aren’t objectively reflecting what the majority of Internet searches are actually looking for, possibly violating Google’s algorithm. According to a research paper cited in this video, that kind of search result manipulation has the potential to substantially influence the outcome of actual elections.
One of those things that made be go, Hmmmm.
They certainly make a really compelling argument. I was able to duplicate their results myself and I would be curious to get a statement from Google on this issue.
I don't understand why nobody can just admit that Hillary is the Democratic nominee because she got more votes than Sanders. Jesus Christ.

To reiterate the video, there is no proof that Hillary Clinton or anyone who works for her knew about or pushed for Google's search manipulation. To assume or allege otherwise is irresponsible. All we have are the facts on record. Thank you for watching.

People will admit it, but that doesn't mean there likely wasn't much cheating, wheeling and dealing, and corruption behind that win.

That she officially on paper has more votes is not what we're disputing. We're upset that the DNC heavily skewed the election process towards Hillary before Bernie even began to run. They're supposed to be the impartial arbiters of the contest and instead they did everything in their power to suppress Bernie and his voters. There was rampant voter fraud in the primary in numerous states and the DNC has made no real effort to adopt any of our platform. They tried to limit the number of debates to reduce Sander's air time and not a day has gone by we weren't reminded that ALL superdelegates voted Hillary even though none of them vote until July.
As for Google, I would do more research before you write this off as a conspiracy theory, as there's some pretty damning evidence. Take a look at something called "The Groundwork". It's a program started by Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, with the express purpose of using the internet to get Hillary elected.

I hear ya. But I think we both have an uneasy feeling knowing that Hillary had more delegates than Sanders even before the first vote was cast, no?
I don't blame this on Hillary at all. Dem's da rulz.
But if I credit Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump for anything, it is that they both opened my eyes up as to how rigged our elections really are. I really didn't see that coming. I really thought votes mattered. Gerrymandering. Electoral College. Super-delegates. Polling place restrictions and the list goes on. Both parties are complicit. We are all played like fiddles.
I hate the superdelegate nonsense as much as anyone else, and I have a feeling Sanders is sticking around so he can basically point at the whole shebang and say "hey, this is effed." And he's not wrong.
It was clear in mid-March that Bernie was going to lose the pledged delegate count. Hope that superdelegates would for some reason overturn the popular result and throw the nomination to him (an argument he not coincidentally started making in late March) is literally the only thing that allowed him to stay in the race past March and pretend he had some viable path to the nomination. It was illusory of course, since superdelegates never overturn the pledged delegate results, but it kept the cash rolling in for him. So I'm not sure I get the superdelegate hate from his camp. Without them, this thing is over way earlier.
This is mindblowingly incorrect. Since march he's been less than 300 pledged delegates behind Hillary, and in many cases as little as 150-200. To pretend that was an insurmountable hurdle that he never could've made up for and was just scamming his supporters is silly and baseless.
So I was all ready to attack Google over this but apparently it doesn't fill in "crimes" and "indictment" regardless of who you are searching for. Like Bill Cosby, for example. But "Hillary Clinton emails" is among the top recommended searches when you start filling in her name.
So, after looking further into this, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Hillary Clinton and is just the way their algorithm operates.
