A few days after the 2016 election, at an internal meeting later leaked to Breitbart News, top Google executives, including Sundar Pichai, Sergey Brin, and Kent Walker, lamented President Trump’s victory, comparing Trump voters to “extremists” and discussing their desire to make Trump’s election and the populist movement a “blip” in history.
True to their word, four years later, Google is deliberately working to interfere with the reelection of Trump in 2020. . . .
Google Has Been Purging Breitbart Content from Search Results Since the 2016 Election
Search visibility is a key industry measure of how findable a publisher’s content is in Google search. New data shows that Google has suppressed Breitbart’s search visibility by 99.7 percent since 2016.
On April 4, 2016, Breitbart ranked in the top ten search positions (i.e., on the first page of Google search results) for 355 key search terms; but now, as of July 20, 2020, Breitbart ranks in the top ten search positions for only one search term. And, on April 4, 2016, Breitbart ranked in the top 100 search positions for 16,820 key search terms; but now, as of July 20, 2020, Breitbart ranks in the top ten search positions for only 55 search terms.
Moreover, organic Google search traffic to Breitbart (measured by unique visitors) is down 63 percent when comparing the first half of 2016 with the first half of 2020. . . .
The SISTRIX Visibility Index ranks a website’s visibility in Google by looking at its ranking in a million search terms.

This foregoing graph also shows three major drops in Breitbart’s search visibility (these drops are highlighted by the bright red lines). The first drop took place shortly after (and inferentially in response to) the 2016 election. The second took place in July of 2019. The third took place in May of this year, after which (1) unless a user types “Breitbart” into the search bar (and even then), they are highly unlikely to get any Breitbart content search results, and (2) Breitbart search results for “Joe Biden” and other Biden-related search terms have gone to zero. Even if you specifically search for Breitbart News headlines, you are unlikely to find them in Google search.
Google Just Killed All Search Traffic to Breitbart for Joe Biden and Joe Biden-Related Searches
After Google’s May core search update on or about May 5, 2020, Google search impressions and search traffic to Breitbart for “Joe Biden” and other Biden-related search terms has gone to zero. Zero. The following graph clearly illustrates the foregoing.
On May 1, Google searches for “Joe Biden” generated approximately 30,000 impressions (views, used as a metric for advertisers) for Breitbart links. After May 5, both impressions and clicks went to zero. . . .
A longer view: Google search traffic to Breitbart News from the search term “Joe Biden” from July 2019 to the present. A regular heartbeat followed by a flatline as the election grows closer.
The Percentage of Traffic to Breitbart from Google Search (9%) Is Just a Fraction of the Average Publisher’s (30-50%); Expert Believes Breitbart Being Blacklisted
Google Search Rankings Suggest More Wholesale Suppression of Conservative Publishers
Breitbart News isn’t the only conservative news site that has an unusually low position in Google’s search rankings. Alexa data shows that the percentage of traffic to conservative websites that come from Google is far lower than that of corporate media sites.
Percentages of website traffic from Google, via Alexa web rankings. Red = media sources with conservative or libertarian-leaning editorial stances. Data is a six-month average as of July 7, 2020.
Eight of the ten lowest-ranked sites (Breitbart News, Fox News, The Daily Caller, The Blaze, Reason, The Federalist, The Daily Wire, the Washington Examiner) in the chart above are conservative. . . .
Takeaways
Google has stated its intention clearly: to make sure the 2016 election of President Trump was a “blip” in history. Sure enough, with less than five months before the election, Google is manipulating election-related search results. The scope and audacity (and hubris) make any alleged foreign interference in the 2016 election pale by comparison. And, it will surely warrant an even greater post-election congressional scrutiny. It will greatly strengthen the contention of Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and of Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), that search result manipulation ought to be a major subject of the Department of Justice’s antitrust investigation into Google. Not surprisingly, when recently asked about political search bias, Vice President Pence told Breitbart News that “we’re going to watch it closely.”

I live in California. Along with others we are pushing backing against the Santa Barbara Public School System with its deplorable & evil curriculum (gender ideology, indoctrination & devoid of Studies in US Government & Constitution). While preparing for a “zoom” School Board meeting over school closures I went to Google to search out mental health/ suicide information in our State of California which has reached epic proportions ( far greater than COVID 19) All Information on recent rise in suicides scrubbed! I did go to “DuckDuckGo” and found the information.
I have noticed that Breitbart was
no longer quoted nor included in comments suddenly some time ago.
I’ve questioned the veracity of Google searches since before the 2016 election. I would enter key words as before but get nothing of any use from the search.
I hope that a reliable search engine is developed that is dedicated to the truth in actual facts and is free from political and government control.
Our country needs the cooperation of truthful press and faithful online reporting. To allow otherwise is a dangerous folly by a sophomoric
mindset.
Google would’ve made light work for communist regimes of the past.
I have used DuckDuck for a couple of years, or so. Lately I’ve noticed, Firefox will switch off of it as my automatic Search engine and use SearchBaron (I guess that’s Ff’s own?). I have to go back to Preferences and change it back. Haven’t used Google for many years now. Funny, it got so popular, originally, as a quick, no-frills engine. My how times change.
Yes, I send out many articles from my gmail account. I was transferring them to my icloud email because the list of political persons I wanted to send certain articles to were in the contact list there. When I would transfer some articles, they would disappear and never arrive at the icloud email. I wrote to [email protected] and told them to stop hijacking my emails. When they did not, I filed a complaint with the FCC on line.
I don’t know if it has stopped or not. I find that the “night crew at Google” are the ones who read and remove some of my emails. I have currently stopped trying to send them to the icloud email.
Just download the app. It’s a great news site.
AND DO NOT USE GOOGLE. Change your search engine to DUCKDUCKGO.com. It’s a far superior search engine and does not sell your search info to companies that then bombard you with junk mail. (Search for a refrigerator on google and suddenly you are getting a whole bunch of ads from GE, Whirlpool, Amanda, etc.
Thank you! Installed will no longer use google!
When I do a search to find out about natural healing and products, I no longer get the information I am looking for but only get sites with traditional treatments, or else I get sites pop up discrediting a doctor I follow or discrediting the approach I am searching.
Duck Duck Go will
Brave is also good!
I agree God bless IFA for getting the truth out about the demonic agenda!Father we know the battle belongs to the Lord, but we as servants of the most high God, must go to battle with the Lord! Not by might or by power but by your spirit! Father let their demonic agenda fall back on them!
You already have seen their evil plans, but your thoughts and ways are higher than ours, break through the air waves of their demonic agenda! We decree in the atmosphere God reigns over all!
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!
Yes the more we can add to God’s army The sooner we will see the evil brought down and destroyed. In Yeshua’s name amen.
But Christ is faithful as a son over gods house. And we are His house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope in which
we boost. Heb.3:6
Father, we know freedom of speech, the press, internet, social media and honesty in dealing with the masses is of much importance to You. Thank You for strengthening righteous reporters and helping those that are lost to repent (2 Peter 3:9). We long for unbiased news, freedom of the internet, lack of censorship, accurate reporting & free and open journalism across the nation and world (Prov 25:25). We ask “newscasters” would not bear false witness, relate hearsay, gainsay truth & forward outright lies (Ex 20:16). We pray for repentance & reformation in news agencies, big data (FAANG — f@cebook, @pple, @mazon, netfli#, g00gle), and government in restricted areas. May reporters, big tech CEOs and their attorneys be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:1-5). Remove those who are not going to be saved (Ps 68:2). Grant mercy on the in the masses in the meantime (Matt 9:36) and give us the gift of discerning of spirits (1 Cor 12:10). May falsehood not cause any of these little to stumble (Matt 18:6, Mark 9:42, Luke 17:2). Hold back the powerful delusion (2 Thes 2:11) and let not people trust in any lie (2 Thes 2:11). Let free speech, democracy and freedom of the press run swiftly throughout the offices and quickly across the airwaves, internet and various forms of media throughout the world (2 Thes 3:1-2). Keep us and religious sites from the evil one as well, and strengthen our resolve in these matters (2 Thes 3:3). Thank You in Jesus’ Name
Heavenly Father, Nothing escapes your notice. You have seen the schemes of the wicked one–In fact, LORD, you see them even before they happen because You know what is in the mind of the wicked one and how yielded some people are to his control. Therefore, LORD, we plead your promise that “No weapon formed against us shall prosper.” Thank you for alerting us to this devilish scheme and we condemn it in JESUS Name. Amen. Would also pray Our Father that you would open our ears to the whisper of Your Holy Spirit warning us of the danger that lurks in even the most unexpected places–Let us not say, “Who would have thought this would happen” for we have the mind of Christ and You, LORD, know the end from the beginning, so grant us the wisdom to humble ourselves and consult you in prayer every day, so that we may gain understanding and avoid disaster. “A wise man sees trouble coming and avoids it.” Thank You LORD for your watchful care of your children. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Lord Jesus Stop them dead in their tracks!!!!!
I spent 10 minutes trying to open this email. It would freeze and stop way short of opening and I could see the word google in the space bar but that was all. After numerous attempts including starting and restarting my device,I decided to engage my vpn. Only after I did this could I open this email from IFA. I will be sure to send this on to my Small Group in addition to joining in with my Strike Force prayer group for NJ on Saturday evening. It is obvious that IFA has been given a mission to help spread the truth and we cannot sit idly by as more and more of our God fearing homeland is destroyed by the works of the enemy who are trolling and controlling the internet. God bless IFA for providing information that so desperately needs to be spread. May the Lord forgive us as a nation that has fallen so far from His grace and may His mercy be renewed over this land as we saints cry out for His forgiveness.May IFA remain a strong force and place of encouragement for this nation as we, a unified force,petition the heavens for our country to seek His face to shine once again on American.In Jesus Mighty name,we pray
Amen.
