Shocker!!  

The left certainly doesn't want a level playing field, especially with this candidate.

From the article:

Google has featured Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign website in a more desirable location on its search engine results than former President Trump’s official site, according to a new study by the Media Research Center. 

"Google is trying to stack the deck in favor of Kamala Harris," Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell told Fox News Digital. 

"Google's search engine pushes left-wing media articles favoring Kamala Harris and slamming Donald Trump," he added. "Don't trust Google searches."

MRC Free Speech America researchers analyzed the Sept. 6 search results of two separate searches: "Donald Trump presidential race 2024" and "Kamala Harris presidential race 2024."

Google has featured Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign website in a more desirable location on its search engine results than former President Trump’s official site, according to a new study by the Media Research Center. 

The conservative media watchdog wanted to determine where Google Search would position each candidate’s presidential campaign website but found different results, which favored Harris. 

"In the past, Google buried the campaign websites of Republican candidates. Now the search giant very clearly pads its search results about political candidates with leftist legacy news articles, many of which are hostile to Republicans and either neutral or favorable toward Democrats," MRC Free Speech America associate editor Gabriela Pariseau wrote when recapping the findings. 

"Readers will have to sift through the biased news before they even see the organic results of their searches, let alone a candidate’s website," Pariseau continued. 

When searching for "Donald Trump presidential race 2024," the former president's campaign website appeared sixth in Google search results. 

"But before reaching Trump’s website, readers would see options to click on seven articles from left-wing sources. The New York Times, Politico and The Washington Post were listed under the ‘Top Stories’ panel," Pariseau wrote. 

"Once MRC researchers reached the actual search results, Google displayed a link to an article from The Economist titled ‘Donald Trump v Kamala Harris: who’s ahead in the polls?’ Additionally, the results showed CNN’s elections page along with a link to its live election updates. Google also displayed a link to NBC’s live election updates page," she added, noting that MRC NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham found "blatant leftist bias" in many articles suggested by Google. 

However, when MRC Free Speech America researchers searched "Kamala Harris presidential race 2024," her campaign website was third in the organic Google search results. In addition, the articles that were suggested were largely from left-leaning outlets.
