A short investigation into Trump’s claims of ‘RIGGED’ Google results against him

The following article by Abby Ohlheiser and Alex Horton was posted on the Washington Post website August 28, 2018:

In a Aug. 28 tweet, President Trump accused Google of “suppressing voices of Conservatives.” In response, the search engine said its searches aren’t biased. (Elyse Samuels, Patrick Martin/The Washington Post)

Early on Tuesday morning, President Trump accused Google of rigging search results for “Trump News” against “Republican/Conservative & Fair Media,” and wondered, “illegal?”

Then, he promised that the situation would be “addressed.”

(Trump deleted the original tweets a few hours later, but re-posted the statements to Twitter around 11 a.m. The newer tweets refer to the “Fake News” media” instead of the “Fake New Media,” but are otherwise the same.)
