I didn't read anything in the Business Insider article that made the claim that Google filters results to push their on narrative/agenda. I'm not sure I read that in the WSJ article either.
there is no question that Google has algorithms to order results. When a search returns 172,000,000 results I would hope the search engine orders them to give me more relevant and common results first - I really don't have time to look through all 172,000,000. But with that many results, is there any filtering happening? And where is any evidence that even the ordering is to push a narrative/agenda?
I have never been concerned with what I have received from a Google query. If someone else has been concerned, particularly if they are frequently concerned, the question becomes whether the issue is with the Google algorithm or the user's bias?
