Something the Mainstream Media Won't Tell You

@coldjoint,

Google is a search engine. It doesn't give you definitive answers. It helps you to search for the answers. Any bias you allege in google doesn't change the facts.

A fact is something that can be disproven. Any time you state something as a "fact" you should be able to answer the question... I will admit that this is wrong if I am provided this data or experimental result.

If Brandon is claiming "the Mainstream media didn't report on Israel's recent peace deals with the UAE". This statement is clearly wrong if someone can provide an example where the Mainstream media reported on the peace deal.

Facts are facts only if they are tested, and the conditions that disprove them don't happen. This has nothing to do with bias.

If anyone can provide a link to show CNN's coverage of Israel's peace deal with the UAE... then Brandon's claim is factually wrong.

@maxdancona,

Conservatives tend to play this game. They make these general statements of opinion or spin and claim that they are facts. Then they trumpet the fact that "no one can prove them wrong"?

The reason no one can prove them wrong is because they are opinions. You can't prove an opinion wrong.

As soon as anyone states how their claim can be proven wrong... then it is a statement of fact (and then we can actually test to see if it is right or wrong).

Google is a biased search engine. That is what I said, and I am not going to let you drag it out into one of your diatribes. Go right ahead and try, but do it without me.

If a biased search engine (or Fox News host, or Communist House member, or Racist skin-head) states a fact that can be tested... it is still a fact.

A factual statement is either true or false no matter who says it.

There are many things that Trump says that are true facts. When he says a true fact, I accept it (after testing it of course).

If you want a biased internet search engine offering your view: Result Hunter is by conservatives for conservatives - "The search engine that supports YOUR values."

How Result Hunter works
We filter out media sites that directly oppose your values, and emphasize sites and businesses that support your values. You’ll still get results from all sorts of other sites that we haven’t touched.

This extension will update your default search and new tab to Result Hunter search powered by Bing.

By default, your search experience is set on Safe Search: Strict. This keeps the results somewhat family friendly, although when searching for non-family friendly terms, you will still likely get results that are not family friendly. You can change the Safe Search setting using the top right menu.

Additionally you can use the settings menu to search by date, or search for specific file-types like .pdf files.

Search options include Web, Images, Videos, and News. If you use the News tab, your news results will be far more likely to be from sources that support your values, though not 100% because we cannot manually review every website on the internet.

@farmerman,

I just did a comparison search between that site and a normal one. Pretty wild. It also wants to change the default browser on you so you never have to look at differing opinions again.

That’s actually kinda scary

@engineer,

I did a couple of searches and compared to google the results seemed to be pretty similar. I did a search on Charles Darwin, and got reasonable results. They pumped a few ridiculous results to the top, but the Google results were right up there.

A search for "transgender rights" returns the ACLU website as the first result (after the advertisement section).

I think the advertisements are the key.

@maxdancona,

Depends on what you search. For instance, google includes results from archives, while those aren't shown (or only also-ran) on that Result Hunter.

Due to my ad-blocker, I don't see advertisements.

@Walter Hinteler,

I serched out NATURAL SELECTION and INTELLIGENT DESIGN, and , like it promised, the natural selection portion was pretty much academic and relating to Darwinian evolution, whereas INTELLIGENT DESIGN was purely written from a standpoint where no arguments existed because the entire sites were already presented for those whose "Values" included ID as a scientific fact.

DID CONSERVIPEDIA close its doors???

@Walter Hinteler,

Are you surprised that Max should claim a far right search engine isn’t far right at all.

Next he’ll be saying that Der Sturmer has a simply adorable cake decorating section.

My dear Izzy, relax.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi.

My comment was about Google. Going off on another tangent does not impress me or have anything to do with what I said.

Your comment was about Google. My comment was about facts.

Don't shoot the messenger.
(See what I did there?)

Then it should not have been directed at me. I said Google was biased, and I still do.

That doesn't change the facts.

To me, facts are important no matter which side they come from.
