By now, you are surely aware that your Google search results are dictated by a political doctrine that you are supposed to hold. The algorithms overwhelmingly favor approved talking points, even if false, with a vast and hugely influential machine now serving one political interest and dictated by one agenda. Google has become the tip of the spear in the management of the public mind.

The latest example is the sudden redefinition on Google of the word "bloodbath." In a matter of days, it went from the actual definition to a highly politicized definition, all in the interest of feeding the obvious myth that Donald Trump said something about how not getting elected would lead to a bloodbath. What he actually said was a metaphorical reference to what would happen to the car industry.

Search is no longer reliably informative of what's actually out there. It was not always so. This deserves some explanation if only for the history books. The change has been dramatic but also surreptitious to the point that many people have not noticed that it happened. The user trust built up from the early days has been ported over to become a user habit with many people completely unaware of how they are being manipulated.

"I'll Google that," Makes No Sense

"I'll Google that," once meant to get a wide range of outlooks on a topic. Now it means mostly to find out what the opinion cartel wants you to believe.

In the old days, everyone knew the broad outlines of how search worked. Google was hoping to put the most credible results up top under the assumption that this is what users wanted. People simply wanted the best results, period. And how were the algorithms seeking to determine which are the best results? The main driving force here was user behavior itself.
