Google Is Upping Their Mind Control Efforts

Ahead of a crucial midterm election, tech giant Google is ramping up its mind control efforts and censorship agenda against conservatives and right-leaning news outlets.

Google has a history of manipulating search results to the detriment of conservative and right-leaning news sites. In 2018, the Daily Caller News Foundation exposed the company’s biased fact-checking program that exclusively targeted conservative websites. One egregious ‘fact-check’ on the Daily Caller, which Google claimed to have originated from The Washington Post, turned out to be flagrantly incorrect and quoted language that never appeared in the Caller’s story. At the time, Google was defensive over the algorithms that underpinned the shoddy fact-check program and refused to give a clear answer on whether the algorithms or their own liberal bias were to blame.

It later suspended the program, crediting the DCNF’s investigation for their decision.

But once again, the tech giant is quietly influencing search results and shadow-banning conservative voices nearly a year out from the 2026 midterm elections.

AI’s Liberal Bias

Google recently added summaries generated by Google Gemini to the top results on its search platform. Gemini, an artificial intelligence platform, heavily relies on liberal news sites, YouTube (owned by Google), Reddit, and, perhaps worst of all, Wikipedia, an organization dominated by left-wing editors hostile to conservative politics and voices.

The new AI summaries also lead to drops in engagement. Rather than getting a balanced variety of sources in a single search, users are flooded with biased results from Gemini and then tend to stick with those instead of searching more.

Encountering an AI summary on Google tends to decrease user engagement with external links compared to those who see traditional search results, according to a Pew Research Center study published in July. Users often choose to conclude their browsing sessions on pages where AI summaries are present, rather than continuing to explore.

Additionally, engagement with links embedded within the AI summaries themselves is notably low, occurring in a mere 1% of all page visits that feature such summaries, Pew found.

Numerous liberal news sites have struck deals with OpenAI, Amazon, and Google to train their AI models using their reporting. According to conservative media watchdog Media Research Center, OpenAI only has two contracts with right-leaning outlets: Fox News and The New York Post.

Google has solely partnered with The Associated Press, raising even more concern over left-wing bias in its AI and possible antitrust violations.

‘Preferred Sources’ Canard

Google introduced a new feature in August that allows users to select their preferred news sources, claiming these sources will appear more frequently in its “Top Stories” page and in a separate section, “From your sources.”

However, MRC conducted two tests, both of which showed that the feature is laced with liberal bias and shadowbans right-leaning outlets.

MRC researchers set their preference to Fox News, The Daily Mail, and The New York Post, yet Google’s feature produced nearly all of their stories from liberal and left-leaning sources.

“Although all three of the outlets had recently covered Trump’s impending meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, only one appeared anywhere on the page. In fact, Google failed to show the part of the ‘Top Stories’ section labelled ‘From your sources’ section at all, merely placing a lone Fox News article to compete with nine left-leaning media results and two from the United Kingdom’s state-backed BBC,” they wrote.

In the second test, MRC researchers keyword searched “DC Crime,” “DNI Tulsi Gabbard,” and “Trump Russia Ukraine.” Google’s feature produced 18 articles that came from liberal outlets, compared to only 11 from right-leaning ones and 10 from centrist outlets.

“In each case, the preferred sources MRC researchers selected appeared at the top of results, but were nonetheless mixed with leftist sources. Google also featured these preferred sources in a separate section titled ‘From your sources,’ which was buried under two other sections, ‘Top news’ and ‘Also in the news,’” MRC wrote.

Age Verification Expands

Although Google has long required age verification for YouTube users, the company is now reportedly expanding the reach of its AI-powered age estimation tool to its search engine, according to Reclaim The Net.

The move has sparked fresh concerns about user privacy and Google’s dependence on complex, non-transparent algorithms.

Not only is Google spying on and tracking peoples’ behaviors, now access to everyday information might require age verification, transforming one of the internet’s most universally accessible tools into a more restrictive — and left-wing — gateway.
