<Google News returned 803 results for "Fallujah" & "ruins".

Based on the page one results alone, it accurately
demonstrates a liberal bias in the results returned. it only
gets more liberally biased from there.

Did you read all 803? That wasn't the issue. Change of subject. You said in essence that the first articles produced by the search engine were biased and "only gets more liberally biased from there" (the record). I simply showed that another query produced no such "liberal" results, so it must be the question. What is a liberal bias - definition please? Need to agree on the terms. Is it found on talk-radio?)

The "question" I referred to was the "query" to the news engine.

dictionary.reference.com

When you submit a "query" (synonym: "question") you are asking the relational database a question about relationships. I would have thought that was obvious. My point was simply to show that some questions (queries) produce the bias and others don't. BTW, nowhere did I claim to read the 2000 articles.

You folks? Is that a close cousin of "you people"?
