Google Search Results Could Steal the Presidency | PJ Media

"Conservatives have been claiming for years that Google has an anti-conservative bias. But in recent years, Google has been contributing to conservative organizations like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. Of course, that doesn't mean much, but it raises questions as to whether Google's bias against conservatives and conservative issues translates into a deliberate effort to create an algorithm that would penalize the right when it comes to elections.

I don't even know if that's possible. People use Google to search for everything from baby clothes to candidates' positions on issues. Could they actually write a program that would always rank negative stories about conservative candidates first?

There's no doubt Google, the company, has a liberal bias. But whether they could -- or would -- consciously use their search engine to advance their agenda can't be proved and would seem to be impossible."
