Google: War on Conservatives



From FOX News:

Google came under fire on Thursday after an error in its Knowledge Panel listed "Nazism" as the ideology of the California Republican Party.

The error, which was first spotted by political strategist Eric Wilson, showed "Nazism" alongside other ideologies such as “Conservatism,” "Market liberalism,” “Fiscal conservatism,” and “Green conservatism.”

The error showed up in Google's Knowledge Panel, which pulls information from various sources from across the web, including Wikipedia.

...When reached for comment, a Google spokesperson told Fox News the error was likely the result of vandalism on one of its sources.

"This was not the result of any manual change by anyone at Google. We don't bias our search results toward any political party. Sometimes people vandalize public information sources, like Wikipedia, which can impact the information that appears in search," the spokesperson said via email.

The spokesperson continued: "We have systems in place that catch vandalism before it impacts search results, but occasionally errors get through, and that's what happened here. This would have been fixed systematically once we processed the removal from Wikipedia, but when we noticed the vandalism we worked quickly to accelerate this process to remove the erroneous information.”

Blah, blah, blah.

The Leftists have completely lost it.
