They do exactly that. Their software analyzes what you search for and what you read and put more weight on those than other selections. So, if you normally go to liberal leaning sites, they show you those, if you normally go to right leaning sites, they show you those. If you normally go to cooking sites they should you those.

They are only interested in making money, and they do that by providing you with links that keep you using them. If you believe they have an agenda, well, there it is money, they want more of it.
