jross Posted July 30 Posted July 30 21 hours ago, Danny Deck said: I'm fascinated by the idea that someone looking for information about the assassination attempt would give up if they couldn't use the auto fill feature. I would guess they hard code against auto fill suggestions for assassination and any current political figure to avoid the bad optics of it popping up before an attempt. I got no auto fill suggestion for an assassination or kidnapping attempt on Nancy or Paul Pelosi. If you torture the spelling, you can get one for kidnapping attempt on "nany pelosi's' husband." If you go through the onerous work of typing out "assassination attempt on trump" for yourself, you get plenty of relevant results. This makes me think of the meme I saw the other day, "You know the search is good if the top result is a help hotline." Did you read this? https://aibrt.org/downloads/EPSTEIN_et_al_2017-SUMMARY-A_Method_for_Detecting_Bias_in_Search_Rankings-EMBARGOED_until_March_14_2017.pdf Or this? https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Epstein Testimony.pdf
Danny Deck Posted July 30 Posted July 30 They look like nonsense and, even if they weren't, irrelevant to the subject of how or why Google and others might want to hard code against certain auto suggested terms.
red viking Posted July 30 Posted July 30 What a joke. At first I wasn't even going to look at this thread because I don't care too much but I clicked on it out of curiosity and, sure enough, it's another right-wing conspiracy theory. Everybody is ganging up on the conservatives and everybody has a bias against the conservatives. Blah, blah, blah. Same 'old wussy victim mentality gets recycled over and over but in different contexts.
jross Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) 28 minutes ago, red viking said: it's another right-wing conspiracy theory. Robert Epstein is not a conservative. Robert uses strong evidence to show anti-conservative bias. Robert votes for Democrats. This quote is appropriate. “I have become a darling of conservatives, which is driving me crazy,” Epstein said. “But they love me because I am saying things they want to hear. People I am closer to politically don’t want to hear what I have to say.” Edited July 30 by jross 3

Google actually came out and admitted they needed to update their algorithm for predictive search recommendations. And pretty sure "right-wing" people were not the only ones googling Trump Assassination attempt. So yes, your post is a joke. 1 1

It's where right wingers have no idea what they're talking about and just fill in all their knowledge gaps with the craziest idea possible that also fits their righte-wing agenda.
Bigbrog Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Just now, red viking said: It's where right wingers have no idea what they're talking about and just fill in all their knowledge gaps with the craziest idea possible that also fits their righte-wing agenda. So people (on all sides of the political spectrum) came out and complained that google wasn't filling in with predictive search options for Trump assassination attempt, google said yeah, our bad we have an outdated algorithm, and your take away is above?? Literally makes me laugh out loud. There wasn't a conspiracy theory, nor knowledge gaps being filled with the craziest idea possible...get a grip.

Conspiracy is that Google, along with everybody else, has a leftist/communist agenda, including all the media outlets that are proclaiming this left-wing media bias. Makes me laugh by rear off.

jross Posted July 30 Posted July 30 20 hours ago, BobDole said: But why would this be? This should be the question that needs answered. Two observable reasons: 1. The unconscious nature of the environment Google, etc. is headquartered in very liberal cities. Google engineers claim they are fired for their conservative views, are uncomfortable expressing their views, and conservatives don't want to live in San Fran or work for google. Liberal values are opposite from conservative values concerning government intervention, free speech, etc. Liberal ethics result in shadow bans, censorship, and word exclusions that match their values (that conflict with conservative values) 2. Intentional Power Controlling information gives power by shaping public opinion, setting the agenda, framing narratives, and suppressing dissent. 1

red viking Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Meanwhile, you are looking at only one type of news source. If you go to talk radio, social media and other internet sites (that aren't official "news" stations), they are dominated by the whacky right. 1
Scouts Honor Posted July 30 Posted July 30 so unofficial leans right... seems good. official leans left... seems bad. 1
mspart Posted July 30 Posted July 30 So RVs beef is with unofficial news sources that lean right, so he says. But he has no problem with official news sources that lean left and he knows most people go to to get news. He really wants it all. mspart 2
