Bias at Google is deadly serious

Rush: What I really want to talk about is how the Google CEO flat-out denied that they are biased in any way. This, to me, is far more ominous and threatening than whatever they’re doing with location data.

But this business of denying that they’re engaging in bias on their search engine? Now, to me that is deadly serious. You’ve got these guys asking, “What are you doing about making sure the Russians don’t have any further efforts, successful efforts to damage our elections in the upcoming year?” And these guys have to act like that they missed it, that they blew it, that the Russians did all kinds of horrible, crazy things. But they didn’t!

It’s just an insult to everybody’s intelligence. It’s not even close to being accurate — and of course the Democrats are not interested in pursuing that side of it, because the bias benefits them. But, I mean… (chuckles) Just search any well-known Republican or conservative on Google and take a look at what the first four or five results are, and I’ll guarantee you they’re gonna be unflattering and they’re gonna be pointed toward extremism or racism or bigotry or some such thing. Nazi.

You’re gonna see the word “Nazi” in some search results after you throw in a Republican or conservative name. For these guys to sit here and deny it and say, “We’re doing everything we can to prevent it.” Meanwhile, they’re creating a special search engine for China where the ChiCom government will tell them what they can and cannot have on their search engine, what they can and cannot search, and what search results they can and cannot produce.

Google is bending over and grabbing the ankles and saying, “Yes, sir, yes, sir,” because it’s 800 million people, close to a billion. They want the market. So whatever the ChiCom communist government tells Google to do, they’re gonna do it. Eric Schmidt, the CEO emeritus of Google, practically had an office in the Obama West Wing! Google was the data organization for the Obama presidential campaign. These guys sit here and deny that they have any kind of political bias? I’m just telling you, that is a far greater threat to our, quote-unquote, “great democracy” than whatever they’re doing with location data happens to be.
