Why am I seeing so much shocking and outrageous news about Trump from Google News?

Is Google News funneling bad news about Trump to me based upon a profile they've built of me, or does a truly unbiased sampling of the news really look as shocking, outrageous, and grim as what I'm seeing?

I guess I could log off of my Google account and find out, but I'm afraid.

1. Yahoo only shows positive thump news

I switched to google to get read news.

2. Probably because that's what you read

"Suggested stories are selected by computer algorithms based on your past activity on Google."

3. No, that's just in the "Suggested for you" section, not the Top Stories.

At least that's what it says on the page you linked to. I get stories there about smart phones, computers, and other geeky stuff that I read.

It would really be bad if the alleged "Top Stories" were different for people who were worried about how bad things are, who would only be made to feel worse, and people who were optimistic about how good things are, who would only be made to feel better.

So now I really am scared. Things are that bad!
