In a bombshell expose of the web search company Google, the Wall Street Journal has reported what many conservatives have suspected for a long time. Google blacklists certain websites that it disagrees with and skews the results to favor democrats.

The paper reported that, in spite of their denials to the contrary, Google has blacklisted sites that it deems inappropriate. While this does include a number of sites with things like child abuse and blatant copyright infringement, it also lumps many conservative websites into this group such as The Gateway Pundit and The United West.

One of the most damning sections of the article was when the WSJ reporter typed “Joe Biden” into both Google and another search site, DuckDuckGo. On the later, “Joe Biden Creepy” automatically came up as one of the most relevant searches. On Google, neither “creepy” or any other negative words came up when entering the former Vice President’s name.

A spokesperson for Google said, very carefully, the company does “not manually determine the order of any search result”. She did not say whether they manipulate the search algorithms though to fit the political beliefs of the company.

The WSJ also reports that Google has made changes to its search search algorithm so the results favor big businesses over smaller ones. The report says they have made changes on behalf of eBay, a major advertiser, as well as boosted results for companies like Amazon and Facebook.
