Eric Schmidt, the chief executive of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is working directly with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to a memo contained within an email released by WikiLeaks.

“Discreet conversations” of forming “working relationships” with companies such as Facebook and Apple were also facilitated as early as October 2014, the memo stated. This is at least six months prior to when Clinton announced her candidacy for president.

The document was attached to an Oct. 26, 2014 email sent from Robby Mook, now Clinton’s campaign manager, to Cheryl Mills, a longtime Clinton aide; David Plouffe, Barack Obama’s previous campaign manager; and John Podesta, Clinton’s current campaign chairman whose email account was compromised.

Hillary has quite a campaign team. Noticed Google searches on any campaign story come up with the NYTs and WP consistently at the top.

Might have to do with the fact that Google learns your search history and tends to give you search results based on your history , Location, Google Account usage

Well, obviously, it's because of the injustice of Citizens United allows these corporations to support their favoured candidate, and....

Oh.

I've noticed that when you read the description a lot of times it will show misleading information. Many will show a date from the last few days to a week and when you click on it and open it the article is anywhere from 6 mos to 10 years old. Or you will get wording that makes you think it is what you're looking for and it turns out to be the opposite. Most of the time what I'm looking for is buried at least 3 pages back or I have to use some screwy verbage in the search for it to find it...

That's Net Neutrality for you...

That's their default setting for any search you do anymore, Google Pravda.

I think there was a commercial which called it "Scroogled."

It was a commercial for using a search engine other than Google.

Young lady types in weather report and then reports back to her mother "I did not get the weather report, but was able to check my credit score, get a home loan for a home I don't have nor can afford and registered on line for email alerts for just about anything." Mother goes....you were "Scroogled."
