This week Twitter has been on the radar of many who have been accusing the company of having an anti-conservative bias when it comes to some of those they choose to suspend or ban vs. those who aren’t suspended or banned, but the Daily Caller has switched the focus to Google for now:
EXCLUSIVE: Google Employees Debated Burying Conservative Media In Search Results https://t.co/0KRz01Ilcp via @DailyCaller

Google wouldn’t do that, would they? *Eye roll*
We obtained internal Google documents showing employees discussing pros/cons of burying @DailyCaller and @BreitbartNews in search results, as a response to @realDonaldTrump winning the 2016 election. Google VP was part of conversation https://t.co/0KRz01Ilcp

"Google has never manipulated its search results or modified any of its products to promote a particular political ideology. Our processes and policies do not allow for any manipulation of search results to promote political ideologies" -Google spokeswoman https://t.co/0KRz01Ilcp

This is the *second** known instance of Google employees advocating for manipulating search results for anti-Trump purposes. WSJ previously reported that employees brainstormed ways to combat travel ban via search manipulation. https://t.co/0KRz01Ilcp

Remember the video of Google employees getting extremely emotional after Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election? It’s all starting to make sense now.
There's a reason conservatives have come to distrust social media and internet companies. https://t.co/NnKuxQDnu1

Google searches have been heavily slanted against conservative news outlets for years. What they are basically talking about is tinkering with their algorithm to give conservative results even more of a handicap. https://t.co/c40AIkAbQz
