"Just the facts" does not apply to Google. This example by Mary Talley Bowden offered this simple example. It one recent example of many others on many topics. Google is programming us, not simply giving us the facts. They see their job as not telling you what there is, but how to think about what there is.
The comments offer dozens of other examples from Google and from other sites. I ran this same test on Google today at 11:40 am CT. Same result.
This is a collection of some posts I made on X today:
I'll start with John Cleese:
It would be simple if US corporate media would simply tell us what's going on, but that's not what they consider their job to be. They have gone almost completely silent because they're trying to figure out how to spend this because the inconvenient to their ideology.
Tonight in Iran:
Elon Musk comes to the rescue with Starlink
How the Corporate media has covered past revolutions:
And all of a sudden this happens. The DNC must have sent out the memo that it's now a good thing for Democrats to criticize Hamas. Incredible lock-step obedience in one of the least organic 180s I've ever witnessed.

It's as certain as death and taxes. Whoever is in power WILL TRY TO ABUSE THE FIRST AMENDMENT. Here's the 2025 campus score card for Trump era, 2.0, the inverse of what happened in the Biden era. Keep in mind that discrimination on campus is only one slice of a much bigger pie. Government censorship goes on in other places too. Trump has been a mixed bag, to be sure. Since his most recent election, for instance, the government jaw-boning and censorship of social media has diminished, but yet we do have this substantial problem on campus that has been goaded on by Trump. As Nat Henthoff famously wrote: "Free speech for me, but not for thee."
Comment: "There is no national conspiracy to buy elections and control America."
George Carlin: "You don't need a formal conspiracy, right? When interests converge, these people went to the same universities and fraternities are the same directors. They're in the same country clubs. They have like interest. They don't need to call a meeting. They know what's good for them. They're getting it. And there used to be seven oil companies. There are now three. It will soon be two. The things that matter in this country have been reduced. In choice. There are two political parties, there are a handful of insurance companies. There are about six or seven information [companies] but if you want a bagel, there are 23 flavors, because you have the illusion. You have the illusion of choice."

Harvey Silvergate, co-founder of FIRE:
The sexual drive is the second most powerful human instinct. The urge to tell our fellow humans to "shut up" is first. As long as men and women hold positions of power, they will abuse that power. So the problems we face are eternal, which means we must always have a watchdog to keep that power in check. Thank goodness we have that in FIRE.
