Am I crazy or is Google biased?

[wakproductions]

Does anyone feel that Google's search results are biased to be anti-gun? I'm writing a letter to Senator Coats, Senator Donnelly, and my congressman urging them to vote against any AWB bill. In my letter I cite a few stats on the 1994 ban's impact (or lack thereof).

When I tried using Google to check my facts, the results are just overloaded with anti-gun articles. It also annoys me how both in search results for anything news-related to guns I'm flooded with junk from Slate and Mother Jones, two very anti-gun opinionated organizations. (The name of Mother Jones annoys me too... I don't need Big Mother telling me what to think.)

Anyone notice the same thing about Google?

They donate a chunk of change to the DNC every year. You do the math.

Nope. Then again, I know how Google works. Results are predicated on recent searches and most popular pages. The antis have been out in force in the last week and have driven the stats up, thus giving you the results you're seeing. Try a different word search and use exact wording of what you're looking for. Google doesn't rely on stale results, it's incredibly up to date.

They pulled all gun stuff out of search results some time ago. Bing at least will deliver gun stuff in results even if it's not as good at searching other stuff. Makes you wonder how much crap they censor on other results. I stopped using them entirely.

I forget where I read it, but I'm pretty sure that google even said they were against firearms.

And they thought China was too extremist. Sounds more like a match made in heaven to me.

Google is pretty Left leaning.

What?

Google 1911. You get nothing but gun results.

What are you talking about?

^^This. I've never had an issue finding anything gun related using Google. They do not censor search results. Any failure to find suitable results on a search are the result of the searcher, not the engine.
