We have investigated ourselves and found ourselves almost entirely perfect. Meanwhile, Google just heavily obfuscated news on Trump’s assassination attempt, including many of the reports on the Congressional hearings.

"Trump assassination attempt" brings up a ton of information from Google. When and how was this "heavily obfuscated?" I've seen numerous claims posted here about Google "mass censoring" something and it always seems to be blown out of proportion.

  It was part of their political violence filter[0], and has been fixed. I’m no fan of Google’s, but that does seem like a legitimate filter to have in place. I’d give Google the pass on this one.

    ...only impacting autofill, not the actual search results.

      The results were crap. It was articles from MSM with no details, just opinions. None of the reports on Congressional Hearings and their findings ever showed up in the top for me.

        So the conspiracy being alleged is that Google "censored" the autofill but not the actual search (which they admitted to) and... featured mainstream media sources (which they always do) and... somehow got all of those news agencies to purposely write stories badly, omitting details and pushing opinions (which they always do) so that Google could push the results for the real stories past the fold, where it would take the monumental effort of scrolling the mouse wheel and maybe clicking a link to find? Those devious bastards....

        Great example of the RWNJ crowd where everything is a conspiracy against them all the time so that they never have to answer questions like why their family won’t talk to them anymore.

        Actually, it was great example of trying to dismiss a bunch of real individual actors doing real things to label people on conspiracy theories and RWNJ as you just did. Many people hate Trump. Many of them said they wish he was killed. Many still wish he will get jailed or will get killed. Is it really shocking that those people act in a way that hides or belittles the assassination attempt? Is it really shocking that when added together, it can seem like a conspiracy, because it really seems that coordinated? The people that are so deeply infected with TDS have one mission in mind, without even talking to each other. Granted, at the same time, I'm guessing your going to tell me there aren't any conspiracies ro murder Trump, and that this assassination attempt is no way connected to one?

  The Chinese are largely brainwashed too, yes, as are most poeple that don't go out of their way to consume information that isn't approved by their respective government. Governments listening to their citizens on how to run themselves has been changed into governments getting their citizens to behave how the government wants all around the world.
