How do people who traffic in these theories conduct themselves in the real world? In that vein I knew a gentleman who wore a helmet when he was driving his car.

I did the comparison with google search and bing.

Its not a theory, the differing search results are fact.

I have no idea who or why but the google search avoids rather omits the top results from bing and avoid some potentially negative issues regards Hillary Clinton.

As I said, I'm so glad you took time off your busy schedule (of defending Hillary by posting pictures of a fairy) to respond to me. I hope the parentheses help you out.

What's it like being in a cult?

Are you even aware that your leader is an unlikeable corrupt liar?



What's it like to disrespect someone from the anonymity of a computer connection?


I rather cut off my, errr, ear and eat it than be that guy.

Google search has different results than Bing that serve to move internet researchers away from some issues regards Hillary Clinton.

Creepy.

Probably not legally wrong but certainly morally wrong.

One is steered away from issues discussed here at DU in the search results using Google Search when compared to Bing as I verified less than an hour ago.

Folks with relations to Google and the Clinton campaign are named.

The search engines supposedly reflect the amount of historic searches

Try Hillary Clinton Ind

Google Hillary Clinton India (and no indictment at all)

Bing Hillary Clinton Indictment

I do not support Clinton in the primary but have never thought nor stated that Hillary Clinton would be indicted over the emails not stated that Clinton should be indicted nor that Clinton's indictment was a path for Sanders to the nomination. The one thing I have typed is that if something should happen to Clinton that I thought the Democratic party (my party of 45 years of registration and votes) would replace Clinton with other than Sanders.

There are other examples in the video comparing google with bing and another search engine.

You are correct that the search algorithms are different but specifically so regards Hillary Clinton searches.

Creepy is all I can say.
