Google suppresses news from right-leaning outlets: Multiple MRC Free Speech America (MRCFSA) studies have exposed how Google has suppressed right-leaning websites in search. MRCFSA researchers conducted a Google search for the words "trump rescission" on June 3, 2025 to find articles about the $9.4 billion rescissions package proposed by President Trump. The first page of search results that Google displayed did not include a story from The Daily Caller, though it had published an article about the package. Only left-leaning outlets were featured on the first page of search results.

Search engine optimization blog Backlinko reported that "The #1 Result In Google Gets 27.6% of All Clicks" and it has “10x higher [Click Through Rate] compared to the #10 result.” Astoundingly, less than one percent (.63%) of users click through to the second page of search results, underscoring the importance of positioning on the first page of search results. Other studies, like one conducted in 2020 by Sistrix, show similar results.
