Bias at Google?

Writing at The Daily Caller, Eric Lieberman shares his finding Google is treating conservative websites in a biased fashion, subjecting them to “fact checking” while giving left-leaning sites a free pass.
Google, the most powerful search engine in the world, is now displaying fact checks for conservative publications in its results. No prominent liberal site receives the same treatment.

And not only is Google’s fact-checking highly partisan — perhaps reflecting the sentiments of its leaders — it is also blatantly wrong, asserting sites made “claims” they demonstrably never made.
It will be interesting to see how (or if) Google responds to this claim. Full disclosure: Google provides the Blogger site where COTTonLINE lives.
