The Media Research Center’s FreeSpeech America division conducted a study that caught Google burying 83% of Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in comparison to their Democratic competitors, who appeared as the top searches in organic search results.
“Google must be investigated for its un-American efforts to sway the election,” L. Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center, told Free Speech America.
“First, researchers caught Google red-handed by proving Republican campaign emails were sent to spam," said Bozell. "Now we’ve uncovered Google manipulating search results to hide Republican campaign websites while promoting Democratic ones. This is all an effort by Google to help Democrats and interfere in the democratic process.”
The study was sparked by a March 2022 report by North Carolina State University, which caught Google marking 59.3% more emails as spam from “right”-leaning candidates when compared to “left”-leaning candidates during the 2020 U.S. elections.
FreeSpeech America looked at Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search results this fall for the 12 Senate races identified as the most important to track, based on tracking by RealClearPolitics.
