Big Tech censorship giant and chronic election meddler Google issued a pathetic response to an MRC Free Speech America report exposing its 16-year scheme manipulating U.S. elections to benefit the most liberal candidates.
After Fox News reported on the Media Research Center’s findings, a Google spokesperson claimed that there was “absolutely nothing new” in the report. The tech giant described the findings as a “recycled list of baseless” and “inaccurate complaints," but cited scant evidence to dispute them. Nice try, Google.
In response to Google’s claims, MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider declared: “Google has censored every candidate, from both sides of the aisle, seeking to replace Joe Biden a whopping 112 times, but it has not censored Biden a single time. And now Google wants us to believe that the same company that manipulated search prompts to create a black George Washington or an Asian Adolph Hitler does not manipulate its search results. Google used to get away with this obfuscation, but the American public is now wise to its ways. Nobody is buying Google’s claims anymore.”
On Monday, MRC released a comprehensive report headlined “41 Times Google Has Interfered in US Elections Since 2008.” The 16-page report highlights the harrowing power and influence Google has exerted on elections to aid the left since the rise of former President Barack Obama in 2008. Tellingly, Google has transformed its search manipulating tactics into high gear in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election.
To this day, Google has not even attempted to deny MRC Free Speech America’s studies showing that it has actively hidden the campaign websites of President Joe Biden’s opponents. Even more telling, Google appeared to have specifically censored the websites of some of its worst critics.
Google told Fox News that it has an “incentive” to keep the whole political spectrum of users happy. “We have a clear business incentive to keep everyone using our products, so we have no desire to make them biased or inaccurate and have safeguards in place to ensure this,” the spokesperson claimed.
Yet Google’s assertions directly contradict growing evidence demonstrating that the tech company has indeed manipulated its products to be used as weapons favoring the most liberal candidates and ideals.
Take Google’s artificial intelligence Gemini, for example. The AI chatbot became notorious for its explicit refusal to generate images of white individuals while propping up racially diverse images, demonstrating the lengths to which the tech giant is willing to go to manipulate search results. But that’s just scratching the surface.
In an interview with tech outlet Pirate Wires, a Google engineer admitted that he and his colleagues spent “probably half” of their engineering time on funneling diversity commands in Gemini.

Despite Google’s denial, prior comments from Jen Gennai, the director of Google’s Responsible Innovation Team, tell a different story. In a bombshell video released by Project Veritas in 2019, Gennai admitted that Google has the power to prevent “the next Trump situation,” seemingly implying it would use that power against the former president’s 2020 campaign. “If not us, then who,” she said in the video.
