Google´s left-leaning media bias revealed:
How CNN, The New York Times and The
Washington Post were promoted over their
right-wing counterparts by the search engine*
Daily Mail (UK), by Jennifer Smith

Nearly all (86 percent) of the stories came from just 20 sources and of them, 62 percent were considered to be left-leaning.

Google´s bias towards left-wing media outlets has been laid bare by an algorithm which detected that it favors sites including CNN and The New York Times over others. According to data compiled by researchers from Northwestern University, the search engine promoted those sites over others repeatedly in November 2017. Of the 6,302 articles that appeared in Google´s ´top stories´ page that month after a term was searched, more than 10 percent were by CNN. The New York Times was the second most favored and accounted for 6.5 percent of articles. The Washington Post was third with 5.6 percent.
By contrast, Fox stories made up only three percent of the 6,302 articles
