The right-leaning Media Research Center (MRC) has produced a report showing that tech giant Google is already manipulating the outcome of the 2024 election by burying search results for Republican candidates and Democrat-turned-Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Tests conducted by MRC and Just the News suggest that the online visibility of the GOP’s 2024 presidential lineup is basically zero. The same is true of RFK Jr., who recently announced plans to switch from running as a Democrat to now running as an Independent.
MRC Free Speech America says the Google search engine failed to produce fair results for GOP candidates and RFK Jr. in multiple searches. The tests were conducted just prior to the recent Republican presidential primary debate.
Researchers conducted broad searches for “presidential campaign websites” as well as two additional searches specifying the party affiliation of the various candidates. MRC also searched for “republican presidential campaign websites,” which pulled up just two candidates’ websites on the first page, as well as the page of a Democrat and the page of a GOP candidate who is currently polling at less than half a percent.
“Google is either the most incompetent search engine on the planet, or it is intentional,” commented Dan Schneider, MRC Free Speech America’s vice president.
“This is absurd,” Xed (formerly tweeted) Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican who ran for president and failed in 2020, and is now running again in 2024. “Blatant election interference. #GoogleCensorship.”

You may recall that then-President Donald Trump also commented on Google’s manipulation of search engine results even back then. Trump warned his followers that a simple Google search for “Trump News” only pulled up the views and reporting of what he described as the “Fake News Media.”
“In other words,” Trump added, “they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican / Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal?”
At the time, Google responded to Trump’s claims with claims of its own that “Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don’t bias our results toward any political ideology.”
In 2021 after Trump “lost,” the DailyMail Online (United Kingdom) sued Google for “illegally building its dominance in ad tech industry by harming rivals, bid-rigging on ad auctions and manipulating news search results.”
As you may recall, former Alphabet (the parent company of Google) Chairman Eric Schmidt, an adviser to the failed 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, commented that the Trump administration would do “evil things,” proving that Google’s umbrella corporation had, and still has, a strong bias against Trump and other Republicans.
Check out the below information from WikiLeaks for a reminder of Schmidt’s “strategic plan” to steal the election in 2016 – a plan that ultimately failed, of course:

While it is certainly possible, but not really probable, that the Google search fiasco of today is a simple mistake, as was suggested by Eric Goldman, an SEO researcher and co-director of Santa Clara University‘s High Tech Law Institute, the more likely truth is that Google is once again meddling with the 2024 election to ensure the “correct” candidate “wins” this time.
Recall that Google is also now grappling with a Justice Department (DOJ) lawsuit alleging that the search engine giant is a monopoly in violation of antitrust laws.
