Again: Google Debated Deliberately Burying Conservative Media Like The Daily Caller and Breitbart In Order to Influence the 2016 Elections In the Democrats' Favor

Previously, a Google insider leaked a video of an emergency "all-hands" meeting to Bretibart, in which top Google executives cried about Hillary Clinton's loss due to "misinformation" and "low-information voters," and plotted an artificial intelligence that would censor such "misinformation."

And now the Daily Caller reveals that Google engineers and senior officers schemed to bury conservative websites way down in search results in order to rig the information battlespace of future elections.

Note that this is further confirmation that Google's most senior corporate officers were quite serious about rigging elections the way they wanted them to go.

Bu bu buh MUH RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE.

Google employees debated whether to bury The Daily Caller and other conservative media outlets in the company’s search function as a response to President Donald Trump's election

"Let's make sure that we reverse things in four years," one engineer wrote in a thread that included a Google vice president

Google employees similarly sought to manipulate search results to combat Trump's travel ban

Google employees debated whether to bury conservative media outlets in the company’s search function as a response to President Donald Trump's election in 2016, internal Google communications obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation reveal.

The Daily Caller and Breitbart were specifically singled out as outlets to potentially bury, the communications reveal.

Trump's election in 2016 shocked many Google employees, who had been counting on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to win.

Communications obtained by TheDCNF show that internal Google discussions went beyond expressing remorse over Clinton’s loss to actually discussing ways Google could prevent Trump from winning again.

"This was an election of false equivalencies, and Google, sadly, had a hand in it," Google engineer Scott Byer wrote in a Nov. 9, 2016, post reviewed by TheDCNF.

Byer falsely labeled The Daily Caller and Breitbart as "opinion blogs" and urged his coworkers to reduce their visibility in search results.

"How many times did you see the Election now card with items from opinion blogs (Breitbart, Daily Caller) elevated next to legitimate news organizations? That’s something that can and should be fixed," Byer wrote.

"I think we have a responsibility to expose the quality and truthfulness of sources – because not doing so hides real information under loud noises," he continued.

"Beyond that, let's concentrate on teaching critical thinking. A little bit of that would go a long way. Let's make sure that we reverse things in four years -- demographics will be on our side."
