Trump says Google is ‘rigged’ with bad news about him

Washington : US President Donald Trump yesterday claimed that Google results were “rigged” because searches for “Trump News” brought up negative stories about him, and questioned whether this was illegal.

The president has attacked US social media giants in the past days for allegedly censoring conservative voices, an unfounded claim widely believed by his followers.“Google search results for ‘Trump News’ shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media,” the president tweeted yesterday. “In other words, 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?”According to Trump, “96% of results on ‘Trump News’ are from National Left-Wing Media,” which he describes as “very dangerous.”

“Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good.”
