Is Mainstream Media’s Bias Against Conservatives Worse Than Ever?
Is Mainstream Media’s Bias Against Conservatives Worse Than Ever?
Here’s The Scoop
Former President Donald Trump unleashed a scathing attack on Facebook and Google on Tuesday, accusing the tech giants of deliberately censoring information about the recent attempt on his life earlier this month. This comes as no surprise given Big Tech’s history of meddling in political affairs to favor the left.
Trump’s remarks follow reports from social media users that Google did not autocomplete searches on the attempted assassination, and Facebook was censoring photos of Trump leaving the stage with a gunshot wound to his ear. Trump suggested that this censorship was part of a broader effort to rig the upcoming election.
“Facebook has just admitted that it wrongly censored the Trump ‘attempted assassination photo,’ and got caught. Same thing for Google. They made it virtually impossible to find pictures or anything about this heinous act,” Trump declared on Truth Social.
“Both are facing BIG BACKLASH OVER CENSORSHIP CLAIMS. Here we go again, another attempt at RIGGING THE ELECTION!!! GO AFTER META AND GOOGLE. LET THEM KNOW WE ARE ALL WISE TO THEM, WILL BE MUCH TOUGHER THIS TIME. MAGA2024!” he continued.
Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk also weighed in, highlighting that a post on Facebook featuring the infamous photo of Trump leaving the rally stage with blood on his face and the American flag above him had been slapped with a fact-checking label marking it as “altered.”
In a rare admission, Facebook claimed the censorship was a mistake. “Yes, this was an error. This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo. This has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake,” Facebook’s communications director Dani Lever stated.
But this isn’t the first time Big Tech has shown its bias. Google also came under fire when users pointed out that searches related to the assassination attempt failed to generate Trump-related suggestions. A Google spokesman claimed there was no manual interference and that their systems have safeguards against Autocomplete predictions linked to political violence. “We’re working on improvements to ensure our systems are more up to date,” they added.
This incident harks back to 2020 when Facebook suppressed reporting from the New York Post on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which contained incriminating evidence of influence peddling between the Biden family and foreign business partners. Former intelligence officers had then misleadingly labeled the laptop as Russian disinformation. The laptop’s contents were later verified, substantiating the Post’s reporting.
