The conversation isn't pointless! It started with you stating your belief that your family member is stupid (Dunning-Kruger effect) and that your knowledge of maths means you "know" that Google's results are unbiased.
Well, honestly that concerned me because family relations are quite important. If the outcome of this conversation is you realise neither of you two know for sure then perhaps your view of your family member will go back to what it was, or even you may take their concerns more seriously and listen to them more closely. That would be a healthier family! Certainly, knowing maths is irrelevant to the debate you would have with them because maths has nothing to do with whether Google News is biased or not.
