The economist did a piece on that. They found that they could not conclude that there was a leftist bias on google. the NYT got less results than it “should”, but so did Fox. It seems google tends to favor reputable sources, and that tends neither liberal or particularly conservative. They also said, however, that the NYT gets more of a share when the keyword is “Trump”, and Fox gets more when the key word is “crime” (That is not saying that Fox is criminal, its saying they’re reporting on crime
There you go again, Gary. Another cartoon about something you know almost nothing about. I guess when you expound from ignorance, your bucket of ideas is bottomless, eh?
Varvel doesn’t like the Fact that when Trump doet stupid crap that for some reason gets reported negatively.
Varvel wants Trump treated like Little Timmy ( The Monster) in the famous twilight zone episode.
That was a Good thing Donnie. Those Mexicans Are all Rapists and murderers. The KKK is Good People. The Trump tower Meeting DIDN’T happen…… Unless you say it did.
We are still on this? Do they still not understand how these things work?? Not that it would matter… just another thing to rile up their snowflake base.
Conservatives see bias behind every blade of grass. They revel in their victimhood. The only unbiased source, to them, is one that echoes every right wing lie, spin or obfuscation.
It’s true that real facts are biased against fake ones. Ultra-right folk have long contended that universities, scientists, encyclopedias, and all other sources of information that aren’t Faux Snooz endorsed are biased against their beliefs. This is one of the few things they believe that is actually true. Because their beliefs are contra-factual.
On average, the better educated you are in a “real world” subject (by a reality-based university), the more likely you are to vote liberal (though the more your education or job makes you believe you’re in the elite, the less likely you are to vote liberal).

Varvel seems to have caught on that reality is biased against conservatives. Those pesky “facts” are so annoying.

Several Dems could be Trump if the election were held today.

I find it funny that Conservatives who promote unfettered capitalism get upset when those capitalist corporations have left leaning values.

Anyone or anything that does not kiss Trump’s stinking ass is considered bias

Pro-tip, people; If you don’t like the research results on your people, make them stop doing stupid stuff that makes them look bad in the public eye.

Republicans like a Varvel think all media should fawn over Trump be like Fox News, aka “ Donny’s Safe Space”.

Just because they are sane and refuse to buy into obvious BS, that doesn’t make them biased.

I consistently program liberal bias into my code. That’s why my LEDs flash the color blue.
