Bias Google

[Dick7Access]

I just ask google if there ever was a democrat president that fire a IG. No surprise. All that came back was “Trump did” over and over.

Anybody know a search engine not so bias?

Bing does the same thing, all top results are about Trump firings. Did find Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_dismissals_of_inspectors_general.

Trump fired 5 in first term
Bush requested resignations of all (rescinded)
Reagan fired 16 (rehired 5)

Obama fired 1

Specific search for Biden or Obama or Clinton moves that Wiki article to top.

President Barack Obama (2009): Fired Gerald Walpin, the Inspector General of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). The dismissal was controversial, as Walpin was investigating alleged misuse of federal funds by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a political ally of Obama. The White House justified the firing by citing concerns about Walpin’s performance and conduct.

President Joe Biden (2021): Requested the resignation of Social Security Administration Commissioner Andrew Saul, a Trump appointee. While Saul was not an IG, the move was similar in nature. Additionally, Biden dismissed several Trump-appointed IGs, including the National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel.

Duckduckgo is better but they are all biased. I stopped using Google years ago when the first page of results became nothing but paid advertisers

If people had any clue how the biased responses from search engines affect their perceptions of the world, they would be flabbergasted. It is also a vicious cycle. If you click on a negative Trump article, all you get fed are more negative Trump articles. No wonder people get TDS. They think Trump is the center of the universe because all the "news" is bad Trump, bad Trump, bad Trump. Airplane accident, bad Trump.
