On Tuesday Google CEO Sundar Pichai testified before the House Judiciary Committee.
Pichai was called into Congress to explain Google business practices including data collection and targeting of conservative voices.
During the hearing, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) asks Google CEO Sundar Pichai to explain how a picture of Donald Trump comes up when looking up the term “idiot” under images.
Pichai told her, “Google takes the key word and matches it against the web pages and ranks them, based on 200 signals — things like relevance, freshness, popularity, how other people are using it… We try and find the best results of any query.”

Actually that’s not quite true.
When you look up the word “idiot” on Google you get not just one, but all of the top images are President Donald Trump.
Google results on “idiot” and Trump is completely different than open search engine DuckDuckGo.
After the House Judiciary hearing Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale spoke out against Google bias.
Parscale accused Google of anti-conservative bias:
Parscale: They make bias decisions all the time to tweak search results when Democrats are damaged from results, but leave negative Republican results because “that’s how it works”. Bias is in their corporate DNA. #StopTheBias

Parscale also retweeted this clip.
